Lord Perry’s Delicious Oriental Chicken Pieces Recipe

This recipe for Oriental Chicken Pieces is cheap, delicious and very easy to make. You could easily make more or less, depending upon the quantity of people you are feeding. Great when served with a side of stir-fried vegetables and steamed rice.

Ingredients

1 to 1&1/2 kg chicken pieces (wings, thighs, drumsticks… any mixture of these will do)
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoons chinese rice wine OR dry sherry
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Method

1. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well, preferably with your hands so you can really rub the flavours into the chicken.
2. You could cook immediately, but if possible leave to marinate overnight for a more developed flavour.
3. Before cooking, preheat oven to 220°C.
4. Place chicken peices on an oven tray.
5. Place tray in oven, reducing temperature to 180°C.
6. Brush the chicken occasionally using the remaining marinade throughout the cooking period.
7. The chicken will be cooked after around 40-50 minutes. Serve immediately, moistened with juices from the tray.
