Give chicken (not pigeon) a chance!

Chicken  is a relatively cheap meat, especially chicken wings. However it seems that it lost popularity in Czech and people are eating less chicken. With this post today I am going to show you some great way to prepare chicken by following the vietnamese cuisine, which will make you change your mind (especially if you are czech).

 

For this recipe you need a hand mixer, small piece of ginger (cca 2 cm), one onion, one clove of garlic, soy sauce, cane sugar and chicken wings (500 g). Of course you can use different part of the chicken, but I personally prefer chicken wings, because it has less meat and you enjoy more the taste of the skin.

Cut the onion, the garlic and the ginger into smaller pieces. Put them to the mixer. Add 3 spoons of  cane sugar and mix all until you obtain a creamy sauce. Add one shot (cca 0,05 l)  of soy sauce and the marinating sauce is ready! Leave the chicken wings to marinate for few hour or over night.

Before baking put a small piece of butter on the meat. Bake slowly at 180°C for about one hour depending on the chicken size. If you want a crispier crust regularly pour the  the liquified butter over the chicken.

Serve with nuts and fresh herbs. I recommend pistachios and mint or parsley and shallot.

Attention! Backing this chicken generates a very tempting smell which requires a strong will not to eat it raw!
