POLOKWANE – The term ‘local is lekker’ can aptly describe many things in our beautiful country.
One of those things includes South Africa’s unique cuisine. Chakalaka is a common favourite among many South Africans and can be found on many tables across the country.
Chakalaka is a vegetable relish, usually spicy, that is traditionally served with pap, bread, stews or curries.
What’s for Dinner takes a different spin on this delicious relish with their BBQ Chakalaka Chicken recipe.
Ingredients
- 8 x chicken pieces
- 1 x KNORR Cook-In-Bag BBQ Flavour
- 1 x tin chakalaka
- 4 x potatoes, peeled and cubed
Method
- No need to preheat the oven.
- Place the chicken pieces, chakalaka and potatoes into the roasting bag and season with dry KNORR mixture. Close bag at end with blue tie supplied.
- Very gently massage KNORR mixture into the chicken on a stable surface. Ensure dry mixture is spread evenly.
- Place bag sideways in a cool oven dish, ensuring pieces are evenly spaced.
- Bake at 180°C for 50 minutes on the lowest shelf in the oven. Ensure that the grill is off at all times. Keep enough room for the bag to expand (bag must not touch the sides of the oven).
- Cut the bag open and transfer the contents to a serving dish. Spoon the leftover sauce inside the bag over your meal.
- Serve with pap.
