Claypot chicken
Once you've cooked this dish, you won't look back. It's ridiculously easy to make, yet packs in so much flavour due to the high quantities of the ingredients - don't skimp on any of them, especially that whole head of garlic - it all balances out perfectly.
Serves 4
1kg Chicken Thighs, skin on, bone in
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
4 cloves Grated Garlic
150g Ginger, peeled and sliced
50ml Water
Marinade
1 head (approx. 10 cloves) Grated Garlic
2 Shallots, chopped
3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
4 tbsp Caster Sugar
120ml Fish Sauce
2 tbsp Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Sea Salt
Method
In a large bowl, massage the marinade ingredients into the chicken thighs. Cover and leave in the fridge for an hour.
Put the vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed casserole pan on a high heat and add the crushed garlic and ginger. Toss until aromatic - it'll only need a few minutes.
Add the marinated chicken with all of the juices and cook for a further couple of minutes. Add the water. Cover with a lid and BBQ indirect in a low heat for about an hour.
Remove the chicken from the sauce and place skin side down on a rack over the fire. Allow the skin to crisp up beautifully, before adding back to the residual sauce as a glaze. Delicious with sticky rice, chopped coriander and spring onions.
