Spicy Gingery Chicken

Sunday, September 26, 2010

This blog has been sleeping for way too long so thought I'd give it a bit of a wake up call

Made a random chicken dish yesterday that though simple turned out surprisingly well

Marinate about 1 pound of chicken (cut into average sized pieces) with 1.5 tbsp vinegar, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp chilli powder, 1 crushed green chilli, 1.5 tsp ginger garlic paste, 1 tbsp corn flour and salt
Leave it for about an hour.
In a pan heat some oil. Once the oil is hot add the chicken (it should sizzle so a crust forms). Once all sides of the chicken has browned, turn down the heat, cover the pan and let it cook. Once the chicken is cooked, take it out of the pan. In the same pan fry 1 finely chopped onion (you can add more oil if you like but the pan should be greased enough), once the onion is translucent, add about 1 tbsp of finely chopped fresh ginger. Let the onion brown a little. Then add a couple of table spoons of soy sauce, a squeeze of lemon juice and 2 tsp of brown sugar. Mix it all together and then add the cooked chicken in. Toss it around on low heat so the onions stick to the chicken and also become caramelized.

Saugar finished the whole pan so I think it turned out pretty good! ;)
