"Sausages Tonight" Chicken

Today was quite a tiring day, so I don't blame Justin for making this rather simple dish. We spent a LOOOOOONNNNG time at the supermarket, just so he can find some random ingredient to use in his dinner tonight. After a few no-gos, he finally decided to go for a jar of Sausages Tonight - which is basically a sauce to be used with sausages. There were a few Chicken Tonight flavours, but none of them very suitable. So ... Ranch BBQ flavour it is :D Here we go!

What you need:
6 pieces boneless chicken, chopped into bite-sized pieces
Cornflour, for coating
3 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
1 jar of Sausages Tonight, Ranch BBQ flavour
Oil, for frying

What you do:

1. Mix the cornflour and bicarbonate of soda together, and coat the chicken pieces with it.
2. Heat up enough oil to deepfry the chicken, and fry until golden brown and crispy.
3. Serve immediately, with warmed sauce drizzled over the chicken.
   

Yes, AGAIN with the bicarbonate! Even though we have absolutely no idea what it does. The chicken tonight was crispy, but that might have been because we didn't simmer it in the sauce at all this time around. Although the texture of the coating was a bit different than usual... I'm just not very sure if the crispiness itself was actually affected. Oh well...

And yes, I know its a very simple dish and just barely a recipe, but I suppose its quite flexible. Just fry up your chicken pieces, and serve with your favorite sauce. Some suggestions I have would be BBQ sauce, tomato, chilli, or even a mayonnaise-based sauce, flavoured with herbs or garlic. Basically anything that goes with fried chicken, hehe.

Since tonight is another simple recipe, let me talk about another Japanese drama - My Little Chef. This show is yet another show about food in case you can't tell, hehe. This time around, the focus is not simple comfort food, like Lunch Queen was, but fancy French cuisine with fancy names. The protagonist is yet another girl, but this time she's the chef. After growing up with a father who specialised in cooking French food, she grew up to be a very talented chef with a unique cooking style - she wants to know the person she is serving, just so she can make a meal especially for them, one that will resonate with their heart strings, or something like that. When she gets the opportunity to open a restaurant, what will happen? Well, I suggest you watch it to find out! ;)

Quote of the day: Some people like to paint pictures, or do gardening, or build a boat in the basement. Other people get a tremendous pleasure out of the kitchen, because cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music.
