CHICKEN CHICKEN CHICKEN

Olla peeps, 

Trust y'all are doing fantastic😁. So my mum sent us frozen chicken and quite a bit if it and IKEDC(our electric power supplier) hasn't been nice of recent. I also don't like storing food in the fridge or freezer as I have found I totally prefer fresh food. Thank goodness I love to cook eh😁

Oh and by us I mean my sisters and I. So I started off thinking why don't I just boil the chicken and bag it in portions and stick in the freezer awaiting sisters pick up abi? Hmmmmm then my cooking mode kicked in and I thought naaaa I'll make a broth kinda something sauce😁.

I had about 24 pieces of chicken

2 huge onions

12 cloves of garlic

Just under 2"of fresh ginger 

Sea salt

Black pepper

Dry yellow pepper

1 heaped teaspoon of turmeric 

Juice of 1 orange

Honey 

Spring onions

Parsley 

Light and dark soy sauces

Grated nutmeg just under half a seed

Cornstarch to thicken

In a huge stock pot I placed all the chicken pieces, added the chopped onions, garlic, ginger, salt, peppers, orange juice, nutmeg and left to boil until just done. Note I don't add any water to my meats or chicken when boiling. I allow the juices from produce boil the produce instead. Gives a richer stock and that's how my mama taught me too😁😁😁

At that point I added turmeric, soy sauces and honey and left to boil for about 10 minutes covered.

Mix your cornstarch with cold water in small batches so you see building up the thickness of your sauce little by little.

Add the mixed cornstarch to the boiling stick and stir to achieve your desired consistency.

Turn off you gas or burner add the chopped spring onions and parsley and serve with couscous, rice, quinoa, yam, potatoes, plantain. 

The frozen chicken has quite a lot of fat, I had earlier trimmed off as much as I could before boiling and them also drained out as much as I could after cooking

I had the first taste on it's on and the 2nd with ofada rice. Yum yum yum

Enjoy a fruitful rest of the week😘
