Gazebo Chicken

|

Salams my fellow cooks, this includes my dear sisters and I’m hoping brothers too.  I pray you are all well 😊 I was planning on posting a recipe each week but you know that thing called Life? Well that was happening πŸ˜” Anyways today’s recipe is definitely one of my faves. I’ve been using this recipe for over a decade and is one of my most popular ones which ive passed on to many friends and family who have always enjoyed feasting on it. It’s a fried chicken recipe but for a healthier version you can marinate the chicken overnight in the sauce ingredients and then either cook on the stove top or bake it in the oven.  Any questions please feel free to ask on here, Instagram or if you follow my personal account on Twitter.

INGREDIENTS:

Marinade

2 washed and clean chickens (cut into 8 pieces)

3 tspn Lemon juice

2 tspn malt vinegar

2 tspn coarse black pepper

1 and half tspn Salt

Sauce

6 tbsp oil

2 cups tomato ketchup

2 tspn coarse black pepper

1 and half tspn chilli powder 

1 and half tspn chilli flakes 

1 tspn Salt 

Batter

1 medium egg (whisked)

1 cup Cornflour

METHOD:

Marinating 

Place the chicken, lemon juice, vinegar, black pepper and salt into a medium sized bowl and mix well.  Cover with cling film and allow to marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.

Sauce

Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the tomato ketchup, black pepper, chilli powder, chilli flakes and salt.  Bring to the boil and allow to simmer on low heat, occasionally stirring.

Batter

Add the egg and cornflour to the pre-marinated chicken and mix well.

Deep fry the Chicken until golden brown and Cooked on the inside.  Coat the chicken in the sauce.

Serve with chips and/or salad.

Enjoy 😊

 Grab a plate and go tuck in!!

    • Walaykumsalam, yes u can leave the skin on if you prefer it and also possible to shallow fry…you will need to turn it often to make sure it’s evenly cooked throughout

  10. Salaam is there a way we can possibly make this in the oven without frying the chicken. ? We’re quite health conscious and really try hard to cook recipes which do not involve frying but ive heard so much about gazebo chicken! X

  14. Hi Hajra.

    When opting for the healtheir version and you have to marinate the chicken in the sauce overnight, do you still coat it witb tbe batter? And when do you do it? Before adding to sauce?

    • Salams…if your making a healthier version, then I suggest u do a simple marinade with green chillies, salt, pepper etc and then bake the chicken and then make the sauce as in recipe and dip chicken in sauce once baked…the batter is only if you’re going to fry it
