Ingredients
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 pack Licious Oriental Basil Chicken
Instructions
Prep:
- Remove the Oriental Basil Chicken from the package and place it in a bowl.
- Toss and massage the chicken to refresh the marinade.
Pan-fry On The Hob (Time: 10 minutes)
- Heat a teaspoon of oil in a non-stick frying pan. Spread out the pieces of chicken on the surface of the pan and let them sear on both sides, flipping occasionally.
- Sprinkle water into the pan occasionally to retain the moisture, and put a lid on so the moisture doesn’t escape.
- When the chicken is cooked, remove it on a plate and then deglaze the pan by adding some water to it and gently scraping the surface. You’ll be left with a thick, shiny sauce that you can use to coat the pieces of chicken before serving.
Baking in an Oven (Time: 20 - 25 minutes)
- Preheat your oven to 165℃.
- Spread out the pieces of chicken on a baking tray. Place it in the oven for 7-8 minutes, flip, and then cook for a further 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the cooked chicken on a plate and deglaze the baking tray by sprinkling some water on it and gently scraping the surface. You’ll be left with a thick, shiny sauce that you can use to coat the pieces of chicken before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes once cooked.
- Serve with your favourite fried rice or hakka noodles, or enjoy as is.
