Recipe Tips

  • If you decide you want to top the sauce with a bit of cheese, then be sure to place it under the grill for 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, baking in a preheated oven 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes should be fine.
  • When cooking the chicken, make sure you do not fiddle with it too much as the coating may start to fall off.
  • A thick coating on the chicken can be achieved by simply repeating step four twice for each piece of chicken.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check whether the chicken is cooked. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 75°C (165°C).
