Just because we’re all staying at home doesn’t mean we can’t eat well and I’ve got a really really simple recipe that uses everyday supermarket ingredients.
Sweet chilli sauce baked chicken thighs with a lime dressed slaw wrap.
What we’re going to do is we’re going to is we’re going to fill the wraps with one of my favourite ingredients that’s chicken thighs. A kilo of chicken thighs and we’re going to marinate them first in this brilliant combination
One cup of sweet chilli sauce. To that I’ll add the stems of the coriander. The leaves, I’m going to use the leaves for the garnish and use the stems for the marinade. Now a simple trick for peeling your ginger before you grate it is to use a spoon. I’ve also got, I found them today, I’ve got kaffir lime leaves, if you find them they’re great. Thai basil would also be great. Garlic goes in.
And then drop in your chicken thighs. I’ve got those chicken thighs into 8 equal size pieces. We’re going to cover this with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least half an hour.
Then lay it out on a baking tray. Last one goes on here and we’re done. So anyway, chicken thighs in. One hundred and eighty degree oven for twenty five, thirty minutes. I’ll check it in twenty five.
Right i've shredded my cabbage, and also shredded my iceberg lettuce. I've got a nice salad bowl and I’m going to sprinkle in some lettuce, some of the cabbage, some of the lettuce. I’m going to dress that salad just before we sit down to eat with mixture of fish sauce and lime juice.
I’m going to put the bread in the microwave just to warm up. Well the thighs are ready, that’s twenty five minutes, let’s have a look. Oh yeah! Scoop them off onto a serving platter. Look at that lovely burnt bit, that is, that one there, let’s just say, is a chefs snack. Oh Mama Mia!
So plate something up. Flat bread, some iceberg slaw, some spring onions, four or five bits of chicken, Japanese mayonnaise here and coriander.
It’s a really fresh light simple way of making lunch or even dinner whether you’re by yourself or in isolation with your family.
