Chicken Marinades | Finding Feasts

Finding Feasts - Grilled Tumeric and Oregano Chicken with Green Goddess Dressing.1 — Click image for recipe

Grilled Turmeric & Oregano Chicken w/ Green Goddess Dressing came about after deciding I needed to clean out the fridge. Since son and I are heading to Canberra tomorrow for several days I needed to get through the bag of delicious herbs I got from mum’s garden and also prep some food for hubby to have (he can make a couple of dishes, will survive on a big man salad but that’s it for kitchen ability).

Stunning zingy and earthy flavours with the ability to make numerous different dishes from these two elements means you could make this at the beginning of the week and then use the leftovers in another, completely different meal.

Tonight’s dinner will be a Chicken Gyros type meal with some flat bread and salads together with this chicken and dressing. Leftover chicken and dressing will be made into a big salad for hubby’s lunch… easy!

Happy discovering! Blondie

Sticky Chicken Wings w/ Spinach and Almond Rice is a delicious soft meat with a sweet, sticky, sauce that caramelises in a hot oven and, dare I say it, is lip smacking, finger licking good!

This marinade originally started as one I used to cook a whole chook in a wok with but with the volume of marinade left over, once cooked I used it for these extra sticky chicken wings – One of my biggest kitchen rules is, never throw out leftover sauces or juices from roasts. Freeze them and then you have on hand an amazing starter base for your next marinade, gravy or jus. As this marinade had been cooked once before it has a richness and depth that is equal to a slow cooked meal.

Freezing rules:

Raw (uncooked) and then defrosted foods or liquids, whatever it may be, CANNOT be frozen again WITHOUT being cooked prior.

Previously cooked food or marinades that have been frozen after cooking and then defrosted CANNOT be frozen again.

The Spinach and Almond Rice is the perfect accompaniment to the wings and the delicious sauce… you have to have something to mop up the juices.

Enjoy! Blondie
