The chicken turned out well and I'd like to repeat it again, so I'll just leave notes on the ingredients here.
- chicken fillet
First cook in:
- stock [with lemongrass ♥]
- salt
- whole black pepper
- lambanog
- chili sauce
- rosemary
Remove the chicken, but keep the broth. Then, in a different pan:
- saute chopped garlic in butter
- add the chicken
- pour in a sauce made of honey, more chili sauce, olive oil [mix those three first before adding]
- then add rosemary, basil, ground cumin seed, cinnamon powder, salt, freshly ground pepper, a bit of sugar (not to sweeten, but to tie all the flavours together).
Cook the chicken until both sides are covered with the spices etc. Then remove the chicken. Pour in some of the broth used earlier and reduce. This will be the dip for the chicken.
I can't believe there are only two weeks left until Christmas, and three more until the new year. Time is too long and too short.
