Here for the firecracker glazed chicken? Good news: no messing about tonight because this is just a short, tiny post with some news! It’s Apprentice night and my turn to cook so no time to waffle on, though I have a cracking post lined up to come online in the next few days…a wee advert follows but only because it’s a bloody good meat deal – our best yet – but if you don’t want to hear about it, just click here to jump straight to the recipe! Everyone’s a winner.
Before we get to the recipe, just a heads-up that – for two days only – we’ve reduced the prize of our freezer filler meatbox down to £40 instead of the already cheap-as-chips £50. That’s £40 for about 24 big chicken breasts, 5 x 400g servings of syn-free beef mince, 700g of bacon medallions (and it’s good bacon, mind, not the shite that withers away to bugger all) and 800g of beef chunks – and even better, the forty quid includes delivery. I posted this on Facebook this afternoon and people have been ordering it left-right-and-centre, so don’t delay – it’ll never be cheaper than this. Click here or on the image above (it’ll open in a new window) and make sure you use the code TCCFREEZER to bring it down to £40 with standard delivery. This is the meat we use in our recipes and it has never let us down!
Sorry, we’re not normally overt with the advertising but as it’s a one-off for Droptober, we thought why not? RIGHT. Firecracker chicken. This is a very simple chicken recipe and because we’re common slobs, we served it with chips. I know, we’ll be eating it off one of those awful felt-tipped portion plates soon. This makes four chicken breasts – up to you if you want to have two each. We both know the answer to that though, don’t we? That’s why we love you. This makes a lovely sticky chicken dinner!
to make firecracker glazed chicken, you’ll need:
- 120ml of Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo sauce (you can buy this in most big supermarkets, trust me – it’ll be where the ketchup is) (2 syns)
- four chicken breasts – we used four from the deal above
- 2 tablespoons of honey (5 syns)
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar (or use balsamic, hey, it’s cooking, you’re not developing a cure for polio)
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, but we like our food hot enough to tatter our ring on the way out)
This is what the bottle looks like – you can substitute out for other buffalo sauce, but check the syns!
to make firecracker glazed chicken, you should:
- get that oven going at about 200 degrees
- tumble the chicken breasts in a pinch of salt and pepper and a splash of Worcestershire sauce in a bowl
- in a tiny pan, heat the buffalo sauce, honey, garlic and vinegar just gently to the boiling, then allow to simmer oh-so-carefree-like until it thickens up a bit
- get your chicken breasts on a greaseproof tray and brush them all over with the sauce – get in every nook and cranny
- cook for about 15 minutes or so – then take them out, baste them again, then put them back in the oven and cook for thirty minutes or so
- make sure the chicken is cooked and, if you want to, grill it for a couple of minutes to get it sticky and serve with your sides
- easy!
