Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cleaning and thoroughly washing the boneless chicken. Once clean, sprinkle salt and black pepper powder generously over the chicken pieces to ensure they are well-seasoned.
-
-
Roast the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease a baking tray lined with aluminum foil using olive oil or butter. Place the seasoned chicken on the tray and roast it in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, ensuring that the chicken is cooked through but not overcooked. Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before cutting it into small, bite-sized pieces.
-
Prepare the Corn Flour Paste: In a small bowl, mix corn flour with a little water to create a smooth paste, ensuring there are no lumps. Set this aside for sealing the tortillas later.
-
Assemble the Cigars: Take a tortilla and place it flat on a clean surface. Scoop a tablespoon of the roasted chicken pieces onto one side of the tortilla. Generously drizzle Del Monte Tandoori Mayonnaise over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Wrap the Tortilla: Using a brush or your fingers, apply the corn flour paste along the edges of the tortilla. Carefully fold the tortilla over the chicken filling and roll it up tightly to form a cigar shape. Make sure the edges are sealed properly; otherwise, the filling may spill out during frying. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and chicken.
-
Deep Fry the Cigars: Heat sunflower oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, gently drop a few chicken cigars into the oil. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cigars from the oil, allowing any excess oil to drain on a paper towel.
-
Serve: Serve the Tandoori Mayonnaise Chicken Cigars hot, accompanied by a spicy marinara sauce for dipping. These delightful appetizers are perfect for sharing at your next gathering or enjoying as a satisfying snack.
Conclusion
With their irresistible flavors and crunchy texture, Tandoori Mayonnaise Chicken Cigars make for an unforgettable appetizer that brings a touch of culinary adventure to your table.
