Chicken Recipe – Oriental style peanut curry chicken

This is one of my favourite chicken dishes. A little bit of the rich side, with the peanuts in it, but the taste is absolutely delicious.

Here is what you need:

1 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup of sugar
4 tsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. five spice powder
2 bunches green onion
16 chicken tenders (approx. 2 lbs.)

Blend the soy sauce, sugar, oil, ginger and five spice powder in a large bowl until the sugar
dissolves. Stir in green onions. Add chicken tenders to marinade. Turn to coat. Cover
chicken and refrigerate overnight. Pre heat the oven to around 175 degrees Celsius (around 350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Drain the chicken. Arrange chicken in dish and bake until brown and tender, while basting occasionally with marinade.

There is another variation of the same recipe:

4 halves, skinned & boned chicken breasts
2 c. half & half
1 1/2 c. mayonnaise
3 tbsp. mango chutney
2 tbsp. dry sherry
1 tbsp. sherry vinegar
2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. turmeric
2 c. finely chopped salted roasted peanuts

Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius (around 350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Place chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold them. Pour half and half over them and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool and cut in 1 inch cubes.

Process mayonnaise, chutney, sherry, vinegar, curry powder and turmeric in a blender or food processor. Dip chicken pieces into the curry mayonnaise and roll in the chopped nuts. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Arrange on a serving plate with fancy toothpicks.
