Ginger And Soy Sauce Chicken

Juicy baked ginger-soy chicken I have a thing for ginger and I must say, it never gets boring in my kitchen with ginger. This particular recipe has been playing around in head for some time now and I had to give in eventually. I took a leap of foodie faith and was not disappointed at all. A simple blending of the ingredients together and marinating the chicken for at least a day is all the effort it requires. Easy recipe for you to try your hands on. Serves 2 adults  and 2 children All you need: 8 chicken thighs/drumsticks pieces 50 g fresh ginger 3 garlic cloves 1 habanero pepper or scotch bonnet pepper 1 tablespoon of chopped rosemary or thyme 1 cup of dark soy sauce 1/2 cup of sesame seeds How to make it Blend all ingredients together except sesame seeds into coarse mixture. You can blend it smooth but I love to have some bits of ginger and herbs in my marinades as they look better and one can actually see what is the marinade. Add marinate to chicken in a...

WATERMELON AND BEEF STIR FRY

The children had finished eating their afternoon snack of watermelon and found myself staring at a bowl full of watermelon skins to throw away. My Ghanaian childhood habit of never wasting food was immediately awoken. Had to do something with them than just throwing them away as we usually do.
