Look - some men can and some men can't! My husband, despite his best efforts, often used to produce barbecued meat that was either charcoaled to extinction or barely dead. I found this recipe in Annete Human's Microwave Winners. It's saved us from certain death by food poisoning. I produce a platter of this marinaded chicken and it's barbecued safely. Tastes good too. The tomato burns easily so the chicken must be watched carefully. It needs overnight marinating. Ingredients:
1 1/2 kg chicken thighs (about 14 thighs and drumsticks) or 1 1/2 kg chicken drumsticks (about 14 thighs and drumsticks) |
1 (410 g) can tomato puree |
250 ml tomato sauce |
250 ml dry white wine |
100 ml sunflower oil |
25 ml soft brown sugar |
4 garlic cloves, crushed |
2 ml dried sage |
2 ml dried thyme |
2 drops tabasco sauce |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Cut two shallow cuts in the thickest part of each piece of chicken.
2. Microwave the rest of the ingredients (except the salt and pepper), uncovered in a deep dish for 10 minutes on 100% power, stirring the marinade occasionally during this time.
3. Place the chicken pieces in the marinade and cover the dish with cling film.
4. Microwave for 15 minutes on 100% power, stirring the chicken pieces and marinade after 7 minutes. Marinate overnight.
5. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade immedtiaely before barbecuing. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and grill over the coals until done.
