Hot wings and chicken tenders.

Don’t ask me for recipe because they are all halal pre-breaded ready to fry sold in Restaurant Depot . I just fried them and drenched them with hot sauce and served with ketchup and various chutnies and sauces.

I made the Chicken Bread someone posted the FB page link to recently. Highly recommended.

Here’s the recipe (the links are from the original recipe - not my pictures):

Check here for step by step instructions and pics on how to form the bread itself:

Ingredients for dough

Flour 4 cups
Instant yeast 1 tbsp
Powdered milk 2 tbsp
Salt 1 tsp
Oil 4 tbsp
Egg 1 (plus 1 for glazing)
Caster sugar 1 tsp

In a bowl mix together 4 cups flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp castor sugar, 2 tbsp milk powder, 1 tbsp yeast, 4 tbsp oil and 1 egg, knead to a medium soft dough with slightly warm water, leave to rise for 1 hour.

Ingredients for chicken filling

Chicken boiled and shredded 1 ½ to 2 cups
Onion chopped finely 1 medium or 2 small
Salt 1 tsp
Black pepper 1 tsp
Coriander leaves 2 tbsp
Green chilies chopped 4
Garam Masala Powder 1 tsp
Flour 2 tbsp
Butter 2 tbsp
Milk 1 cup
Sesame seeds as required

Heat 2 tbsp butter fry onion till soft then add 2 tbsp flour with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garam masala…add the milk, cook till thick, mix in the shredded chicken add chopped green chilies and coriander leaves, remove and cool completely.

The filling will look like this:

Now divide the dough into two or three parts depending on what size loaves of chicken bread you want. Roll the dough to a rectangular shape, snip the sides with scissors or a knife, put filling in the centre and fold each side so they overlap each other (like a braid) the filling will show slightly but that’s ok, brush top with beaten egg, sprinkle sesame seeds and bake on 200 degree C for 25 minutes or so.

Right after taking out of the oven apply butter well on whole bread and let it rest covered with a cloth for 2-3 min to soften the bread completely.

TIP: I always make big batches of chicken bread at a go and then wrap them well in cling film or foil, then put them in some sort of a cellophe bag and tie it up tight and freeze. They can keep up to 4 weeks! When you need one, you just thaw it out overnight in the fridge or keep it out on the counter until it’s thawed out, then unwrap and zap it in the micro for a minute or so until it warms up, and then splash a little bit of water using your fingertips on it and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes to freshen it back up. Becomes as good as new

Roast chicken, my own recipe btw

2 pound whole chicken, quartered
1/2 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
1 tsp MSG
1 cup or so of yogurt
1/4 bunch of fresh coriander, chopped fine
16 small cloves of garlic, chopped fine
chunk of fresh ginger, chopped fine
1 tsp whole peppercorns
2 tsp coriander seeds
2 tsp cumin seeds

Add all of your whole spices into a coffee grinder and blend until finely ground, you can also add the salt and MSG now as well.
get out your cup of yogurt and chop coriander, garlic, ginger, then add to yogurt, you can add your spices as well.
add your chicken quarters into the yogurt mixture and marinate overnight.
Bake for 40 minutes, garnish with some more coriander and serve.

Chicken braid. Someone posted the recipe on here a couple weeks ago and as much as I don’t like baking…it turned out really well. Can’t believe I made bread…looks like bread…feels like bread…tastes like bread. Similar texture to hamburger buns. It must be what the cavemen felt like when they first built fire. I’m so proud of myself.
