Simple Teflon Grilled Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 pieces of chicken (cut into portions)
- 1/2 lemon
- Salt, to taste
For the Marinade:
- 1/4 onion
- 3 shallots
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 red chili peppers (small)
- 4 large red chili peppers
- Salt, to taste
- 3 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (e.g., Bango)
- 3 tablespoons broth or plain water
- Canola oil/olive oil/your preferred cooking oil
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Clean the chicken pieces thoroughly. Marinade them with lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 20 minutes. Set aside the desired amount of chicken for cooking.
-
Make the Spice Paste:
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the spice paste. Blend or grind together the onion, shallots, garlic, small red chilies, and large red chilies until smooth.
-
Pre-Cook the Chicken:
- In a pot, bring water to a boil and partially cook the chicken pieces for about half-cooked. Remove from the pot and drain well.
-
Prepare the Spice Mixture:
- In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil. Add the sliced onion and sauté until fragrant. Add the blended spice paste, sweet soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Stir briefly to combine.
-
Combine Chicken with Spice Mixture:
- Add the drained chicken to the spice mixture in the pan. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes so the flavors can infuse into the chicken. Remove the chicken and set aside, keeping it coated with the spice mixture.
-
Grill the Chicken:
- Heat a Teflon pan over medium heat. Add about 1/2 tablespoon of oil, swirling the pan to cover the surface evenly. Place the chicken pieces in the pan and grill them until they develop a rich, brown color.
-
Serve:
- Once the chicken is grilled to perfection, remove from the pan. Serve hot with steamed rice or your preferred side dishes.
