Grill chicken

Other than soups & steamed dishes, I find that using an oven to bake or grill is one of the easiest cooking methods. There is also a certain distinct flavour different from steaming the same recipe.

For this recipe I used 3 deboned chicken drumstick. Marinate with pinch of salt and pepper for about 20 minutes. If you prefer a healthier chicken that's raised without growth hormones, antibiotics etc, try Sakura chicken from Kee Song Brothers. My kids love it too. You can literally taste the difference. The meat is tastier and contains less fat. Currently it's available at major NTUC supermarkets and some wet markets in Singapore. Make sure there's a pink ring on the chicken's leg which is a mark of authenticity.

Back to preparation. Preheat oven on high (grill). Meanwhile prepare other ingredients. Wash and slice fresh button mushrooms, dice a tomato, dice an onion. Line a suitable dish with aluminium foil. Spread out the above diced ingredients onto the dish. Place the marinated chicken pieces on top. Spread them out in the dish as flat as possible, skin side up. Add a tablespoon each of soy sauce and chicken broth.

Grill on high for 25 minutes. To prevent splatter or to have a moist dish, place a 'roof' on top using aluminium foil.

This dish takes minimal preparation time and is good for a simple complete meal by adding rice.

Enjoy :-)
