Crispy chicken with potatoes and beans

Im having a very lazy day. The kids are unwell last week so ive been sleeping with one eye open monitoring their temp.

They are well now. But still i am sleep deprived. Many people thinks that kalau duduk rumah ni ada masa nak tido senantiasa. Ooohhh tidak. Sometimes i dont feel cukup masa nak buat housechores dengan menjaga my two rascals.

Enough im-not-complaining. Im grateful. 

Ive been craving for crunchy fried chicken. But unfortunately masa nak masak ni, minyak kat rumah limited sgt. Cant deep fried my chicken so i opted for this. 

Oven roasted crispy chicken with potatoes and beans

Easy peasy.

What u need :

Potatoes
Beans
Garlic
Chicken
Salt and pepper
Flour
Butter


Potaoes. Boil until tender. Drain it and whilst its hot put in a table spoon of butter. 

Butter makes things better like rachel khoo kata. Lols

Chicken. Salt and pepper. Dust it with flour. Hot pan. Splash of oil. Really. One table spoon is enough. Just make sure every surface of the pan is glazed with oil. And sizzle the chicken. Skin side on until it brown. About 2 mins each side. Put aside. 

Beans. If you have french beans. Grreeaattt. But if u think french beans are expensive go for kacang buncit or kacang panjang. Saute finely chopped garlic with the same oil that u used to brown ure chicken. Let it brown and then Put the beans and tossed your pans around for 2 mins. Put it aside

Put all your potatoes and beans on a baking dish. And put the chicken on top of them. Pour the leftover oil from cooking chicken + beans on top of them. 

Put it in oven for 30 mins 175c

Done.

Im serving this with honey mustard sauce

After your chicken is cook. Take all the potatoes+beans+chicken from the baking dish. And you will see on there is a lot of residue on it. That chicken residue with all the lemak2 and minyak ayam. That is golden. Normally, mak2 kita ajar- rendam bekas tu dengan air sabun. Sebab nanti senang nak sental. 

I have the alternative way rather than rendam-to-make-it-easier-to-wash. 

Put the baking dish on the stove. If you are using pyrex like me, api sila kasi kecik. And put in a cup of water. And while the water is getting hot, take a wooden spoon and start hakis all the residue. Put in a table spoon of honey and half table spoon of mustard. Wisk it around. 

Done. 

Serve and eat


Ok. Ayam is separa togel because gib already tore off the skin and ate it whilst i was making the sauce. Believe me, he was trying to push me aside to grab the chicken when i took this picture. 

Bertuah. Akhirnya ayam ni dia punyer.
