A few days ago, some of you saw this picture of a delicious grilled chicken thigh in my facebook, I'm sorry if it makes you salivate but that was totally my intention (HAHA!)
Anyway I did this recipe once last December and the family love it. I bought 5 big juicy chicken leg from the wet market for just 3 of us and DinoPapa ate 2 of it. De-li-cious~ I tell you~ So I decided to do it again but since it was so last minute I only have time to run to Cold Storage after work to try to grab the ingredients. I was disappointed that they do not have the whole chicken leg, instead they sell the thigh and the drumsticks separately, well I have to make do with them so I bought a packet each home.
The next day I prepared the chicken for marination; took me quiet some back breaking time to slice the basil leaves thinly and minced the garlic. My fridge is so full of things (can you believe that!) that there is no way I can put a bowl in it, what do I do? I just throw them into a zip lock bag and stuffed it into one corner!
That night, I brought it out from the fridge, laid them in a baking tin and 35mins later we have grilled chicken as dinner, accompanied by a a can of heated up mushroom soup.
Satisfaction is the word, satisfaction to the max!

ReplyDeleteJenn, the honey turns the skin golden brown and makes the skin tastier.
