This is a Korean dish which Sue slightly modified to suit the mini (Inner) Chicken fillets I found for £1.99.
Ingredients:-
175g of Chicken breast, cubed
3 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
1 ½ Tbsp of Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp of Rice Wine Vinegar
70ml Lemonade ( Sue made her own with Soda Water and the juice of a Lemon…)
½ Tbsp of minced Garlic
1 Tsp of minced fresh Ginger
1 Tsp of Olive Oil
Ground Black Pepper
Method:-
(1) Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
(2) Pour over the Chicken and marinade in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
(3) Add the Chicken to a hot frying pan with a little Oil, reserving most of the liquid.
(4) Sear the Chicken on all sides.
(5) Turn the heat down and stir occasionally until the Chicken is cooked.
(6) In a separate pan heat the remaining marinade and reduce over a medium heat.
(7) Serve over a bed of Rice and pour over the reduced marinade.
We garnished ours with sliced home pickled Radishes and Spring Onion. The pouring sauce was the Ximenia and Chilli Chutney we made the other day and we had the remaining Zucchini Noodles from the night before as a side. All pretty tasty!
It's a long time since we had Southern Style Chicken. Clearly in the tent a deep fat fryer wasn't an option. In the hostel we weren't allowed to use one and I killed our old one by accident but that's another story!
This recipe works either baked in the oven for the slightly healthier version or deep fried.
Ingredients:-
2 Chicken breasts
1 tub of Buttermilk
Plain (Gluten free if you wish) Flour for the deep fried version
1 bag of salted Tortilla chips for the oven roasted version
Chilli flakes
Garlic Salt
Hot Paprika powder
Mixed herbs
Salt and Pepper
Method:-
(1) Cut the Chicken into strips.
(2) Place in a bowl in the Buttermilk and refrigerate for a least 2 hours.
(3) Smash the Tortilla chips into crumbs for the oven roasted version.
(4) Season the Tortilla chip crumbs or flour with the remaining ingredients.
(5) Coat the chicken in either the seasoned Tortilla chips or flour.
(6) Deep fry or roast at 180c until golden brown
We served ours with hand cut chips, home made Coleslaw and Chilli Tomato Ketchup.
