Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Put the peanut butter, garlic, spices and egg in a small bowl and whisk with a fork until blended. Add the chicken, one piece at a time, turning them in the mixture until coated, then place on the baking tray. Any mix left over in the bowl can be put on top of the chicken. Bake for 20 mins until the coating is firm and the chicken is tender.

  • step 2

    Mix the vinegar and oil in a bowl then add the salad leaves, cucumber, carrot, shallot and coriander, if using. Mix and serve with the chicken.

The coating turns into a weird peanut bake in the oven. It was alright, but I would bake the chicken separately or cook it in the sauce in a pan.

The salad and dressing was delicious. Chicken coating requires salt though! I would make this again but tweak it by adding salt and leaving the chicken to marinade overnight.

I wouldn't choose to make this again. If you like the peanut idea you would be much better off doing a chicken satay. The coating is gloppy, messy to apply and after baking is quite hard, almost crusty. The overall dish is very dry, despite only cooking the chicken for 20 minutes,the coating lacks…

This is a nice recipe and a bit different, I mixed the coating really well and it became thick and stuck to the chicken perfectly, we ate it with some warm cheese & onion foccaccia bread.

The mixture was very sticky so I splashed in some soy sauce as suggested by alittlepotter. It made it a little more pliable but still very messy to spread on the chicken. The end result didn't look great either. Edible but not attractive on the plate.
