Honey Garlic Grilled Chicken 🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗

Another Sunday best! 😃

INGREDIENTS:

2 kg of Chicken Legs (which can be separated into thighs and drumsticks later or whichever cut you prefer)

50 ml Honey Apple Cider Vinegar

1 tbsp of Salt

1 bulb of Garlic

1 thumb of Ginger 

3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Separate the chicken thigh from the drumstick.

2. Blend the remaining ingredients until smooth.

3. Pour over the chicken pieces, mix and let them marinate for at least an hour (overnight is best).

4. Remove the chicken pieces one by one, patting them dry as this will make for easier sealing in the griddle.

5. Put a maximum of four pieces in the griddle (cast iron grill pan). The chicken already has oil, so no need to add any to the pan. If you don’t have a griddle, you can use any other heavy bottomed pan.

6. Grill both sides until brown, then put them in the oven at 180°C for 40-45 minutes.

7. Put the remaining marinade over the chicken every 15-20 minutes.

Let me know how it goes! 😃

Rosemary & Sage Breaded Chicken

Rosemary & Sage Breaded Chicken

It is Sunday and I don’t feel up to a complicated meal. The oven is apt for this simple and delicious recipe. The prep time will depend on how much work you intend to do in the day itself. I prefer to marinate and prep the bread crumbs the day or night before so that I am free to laze about and enjoy my day. 

The recipe is as follows:

The Ingredients:

CHICKEN

2kg Chicken Thighs 

165ml Buttermilk (I put 15ml of apple cider into 150ml of milk and let it sit for 15 minutes)

BREADCRUMBS 

6 Slices of Brown Bread

2 Tbsps of Fresh Rosemary 

1 Tbsp of Fresh Sage

1 Tbsp of Garlic Powder 

1 Tbsp of Salt

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken thighs in the buttermilk overnight.

2. Blend the breadcrumbs, rosemary, sage, garlic and salt to a fine crumb. Store in a container until the next day.

3. Remove the marinated chicken thighs and let them come to room temperature before handling them.

4. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

5. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and coat in the breadcrumbs.

6. Place the chicken thighs on a large tray and bake until golden brown and a clear liquid comes out when you cut into the chicken.

7. Bon Appétit ! 😋
