SECRET CHICKEN
WITH PINEAPPLE
Several years ago a friend of mine opened a small restaurant. Their specialty was meat and chicken. My friend was looking for a new recipe . I prepared some marinade sauces and we selected one of them. It was a big hit. Customers loved it and they kept asking for the recipe. They did not tell their trade secret! I encountered this question many times, also I did not tell anyone. We named this recipe SECRET CHICKEN.
Actually it is a very simple combination and nobody could correctly guess the ingredients.This maybe because some of the ingredients were not common in Turkish Cuisine. Unfortunately after many years of operation, restaurant is now closed .It does not need to be a 'secret ' anymore. I am delighted to share this recipe with my readers...enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
4 pieces chicken tights
1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger or 1 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp. ketchup
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tbsp. dark soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1 fresh pineapple
1 tsp cinnamon
Cut chicken tights into big chuncks. Wash and dry with kitchen towel. Mix ginger, ketchup, garlic, soya sauce and salt in a bowl. Add chicken pieces. Cover, refrigerate several hours or overnight. Grill or cook in a non-stick frying pan adding 1 tbsp. olive oil. Cook each sides until the chicken pieces well browned. Sprinkle cinnamon sliced pineapple. Grill until turn brown. Serve with rice and grilled pineapple .
Tips; thread chicken pieces and pineapple onto skewers. Grill until chicken is tender.
