It's the second day of 2013 and most of us have vowed to stop eating rich and greasy food, and switch to healthier ones instead. For my chicken, I decided to take the risk, bake them in the oven for an hour and see if I would get a crispy result. And I did!
Here's the secret:
1. Marinade the chicken overnight with your choice of seasonings. I used chicken salt (from Sydney), black pepper, and juice of 1 lemon. Preheat the oven to 200C.
2. Put a generous amount of flour in a ziplock bag and drop in the chicken. Shake vigorously, it's a good workout trust me!
3. Lay down the chicken in an aluminum-lined cookie sheet sprayed with olive oil to avoid sticking. Spray the floured chicken with olive oil as well.
4. Bake for 30 minutes. Flip them over, spray with olive oil once again (with feelings hehe), and bake for another 30 minutes. You will hear some sizzling in the oven. A beautiful sound!
For the spicy sauce:
1. Heat about 3 tbsp of butter in the saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of chili sauce, 2 Tbsp Tabasco sauce, pinch of cayenne pepper, chicken salt, 3 Tbsp milk.
2. Simmer the sauce for about a minute or until slightly thick.
3. Place all the oven-baked chicken in a bowl. Add the spicy sauce.
4. Cover the bowl with a plate. Flip it over and shake until all the chicken are coated with sauce.
I'm sure you will enjoy this recipe!
