Cheap cooking trick

After watching Nigella Lawson's TV cooking series, I've learnt one simple way to cook chicken. And all you need is a bottle of sauce (peri-peri, teriyaki, etc), one clove of garlic and a plastic bag.

1. Finely chop one clove garlic.

2. Take chicken pieces (wing, drummet or whatever you fancy) and place them in an unused plastic bag or you may use Miss Lawson's favourite Ziploc bags.

3. Add chopped garlic to chicken pieces in the bag. ( You may add pepper or chilis or parsley)

4. Pour whatever sauce you like. I like Nando's peri-peri and garlic sauce.

5. Secure bag with rubber band and shake bag to ensure sauce marinate evenly.

6. Toss bag in freezer to marinate for as long as you like.

7. When you are ready to cook the marinated chicken, thaw for 2-3 hours. Next, heat the pan, add some oil and stir-fry them. Voila! Easy peasy yummy chicken.

Today, I marinated two different flavours using Nando's Peri-Peri Sauce and Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce. Now I've one bag of peri-peri chicken and one bag of teriyaki chicken in the freezer. They should be nicely marinated and deeply infused with peri-peri and teriyaki flavours by Saturday. *smacking lips*
