Chicken TIME!
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the Chicken on a roasting tray. Pat dry with some paper towel, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 35-40 minutes until cooked through and becoming crispy, shifting halfway.
MARINADE MANIA
In a bowl, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, BBQ sauce, grated Garlic, grated ginger, 10ml of water, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined.
CAN I GIVE YOU SOME AD-RICE?
Rinse the rice under cold water until it runs clear. Place in a lidded pot, over medium-high heat with 100ml of salted water and the coconut milk. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-20 minutes until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. On completion, remove from the heat and fluff up with a fork.
RAD ROAST
Once the Chicken reaches the halfway mark, place the deseeded gem squash halves on a roasting tray, cut-side up. Lightly drizzle with oil and season to taste. Roast in the hot oven for the remaining time until cooked through and soft. In the final 5-8 minutes, pour the marinade over the chicken until fully coated. In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves with a drizzle of oil and seasoning.
WINNER WINNER, STICKY Chicken DINNER!
Plate the sticky Chicken with all the tray juices. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Side with a generous helping of the fluffy coconut rice, the roasted gem squash, and the dressed green leaves. Scatter over the chopped mint. Well done, Chef!
