Hi everyone
Another easy chicken recipe made for my mum who likes easy!
Ingredients
4 tablespoons soy
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons honey
3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce or if you don't have it bbq sauce (optional)
4 chicken thighs or 6 legs or a mix
Put everything bar the chicken in a sealable bag or a dish and mix. Put the chicken in and let marinate in the fridge. Heat your oven to 220 degrees.
Line a roasting dish with foil (saves time on the clean up and place the chicken skin side up and marinade in. Season and then place in the oven and cook (if thighs) for 15 mins on one side and and then turn over and cook for a further 15 mins or until the juice is clear when checked with a fork or skewer. If cooking just legs cook for 10 mins each side.
Season and enjoy with some stir fry asian greens or just on their own.
Enjoy

Chicken for all seasons
Hi everyone
Ive been developing a few recipes for my mother who eats a lot of chicken. This one can be cooked in a pan or in a pressure cooker.
Ingredients
4 chicken thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
a tablespoon of thyme or a few sprigs of fresh
20g butter
a cup of chicken stock
2 cloves of garlic sliced
In a frying pan or pressure cooker heat the oil to high and brown the chicken. Add the rest of the ingredients and if in a pan cover simmer for 45 mins till cooked. If using a pressure cooker cook for 25 mins. Once the chicken is cooked take it out and reduce the liquid by half. Season. When serving place the chicken on top of the onions and peas below and spoon over the reduced liquid.
I found this great accompanying dish to go with them which you may want to try.
Ingredients
30 gms butter
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 large or 2 small onions - I like red as they are sweeter but white is fine. I cut in half and and then cut along the grain 4-5 times so they are still connected at one end
2 teaspoons of thyme or a couple of sprigs or parsley or mint which ever is to hand
2 cups of peas frozen is fine just defrost before using
half a cup of chicken stock
250 grams of baby spinach
In a pan heat heat the olive oil and butter and add the oinions. cook on medium heat until soft (don't burn). Add all the rest of the ingredients bar the spinach and cook for a further 5 mins watching that the water doesn't completely cook off. Add the spinach and stir to wilt. Season and enjoy with the chicken.
Enjoy :)
