Chicken Satay




Okay, so this is not exactly a recipe....ha ha...the recipe is on the box. But this satay is good, really good. I got it at Ranch 99, but it can be hard to find. It might not be in the section that you think it is. I couldn't find it in the thai sauce section, but over in the next aisle. Very tricky. Anyhow, you marinate the chicken in the sauce. Grill it, then cook the sauce. It's really good sauce, spicy and peanuty. Yum.

Ovenbaked Chicken Wings and Drumsticks

Sorry, no picture with this. But if you make it, feel free to put a picture up. Simple and very tasty! 

Oh, also, 2kg = 4.4lbs, and 180degC is 350degF. I am not from the US, so I measure with wierd scales and thermometers! At least 30 minutes here means 30 minutes there too! :-)

Ingredients
- Upto 2kg of Chicken drumsticks and wings 

Marinade
- 1 peeled onion
- 3 garlic
- 3 tbsp of water
- 6-7 tbsp of oyster sauce
- 5 tbsp of hoisin sauce
- 3 tbsp of soya sauce
- 5 tbsp of sugar

Instruction
1. Cut peeled onions small enough so that it can be blended without jamming your blender and causing subsequent explosion. :-) Then place all ingredients for the marinade into the blender and blend into a thick sauce.
2. Marinate chicken with the blended sauce for at least 4 hours in the fridge. The longer the marinating process the better. It also helps to poke little holes into the chicken before marinating. Just lets the marinade go through the chicken better.
3. Foil an deep oven tray. Place marinated chicken on tray and pour in any left over sauce. 
4. Preheat oven to 180 degC, fan forced. 
5. Bake chicken for 30 minutes or until chicken is nicely browned and cooked through.
