Chicken Peas and Mushroom in Barbque Sauce

Hi
Today I will share a recipe which is Oil free and easy to make....


Ingredients

  1. Chicken Whole Leg       : 1 Pc with Skin
  2. Bar-B-Q Sauce              : 1.5 tbsp ( Store bought...I prefer American Garden)
  3. Brown Sugar                : 1/2 tsp
  4. Apple Cider Vinegar       : 1 .5 tsp
  5. Salt                              : As per taste
  6. Garlic Paste                  : 1 tsp
  7. Mushroom Sliced          : 1 cup
  8. Green Peas                   : 1/2 cup ( frozen or fresh)


Tip: Always, when cooking oil free chicken dish, take  the chicken with skin....This will leave fat and will also keep the chicken moist and soft. Otherwise the chicken become chewy and dry

Method

Slit the Chicken piece at several spots. In a bowl mix all ingredients from No. 2- No.6. Marinate the chicken in this for few hours. Minimum 30 Mins.

Heat a nonstick pan and place the chicken with the skin or top side down and put the heat on a very low flame . and cover it. After 2 minutes you will see the chicken leaving oil. Now flip the chicken and cover it again for few minutes. Keep doing this till you see the skin turn beautiful brownish in colour .
At this stage you will see that the sauce around it is drying up or getting sticky. Now add the mushroom and peas. Cover it again, mushroom and peas will leave lots of juices and the chicken will not get burnt. The chicken at this stage will start getting braised . 
Braise it for around 10 mins for the chicken to cook thoroughly. Uncover and let the juice dry up.
Pierce the chicken with a fork or knife and see if red juice is flowing out ...if it is, then the chicken is not cooked yet and need to be cooked further. If the chicken is cooked , turn the heat off and let it stand for 5 mins so that the chicken cook in its own heat. You can remove the skin at this stage and serve it.
You can enjoy this without any accompaniment or else can have a slice of bread with it. This recipe is ideal for people on low carb diet. 

Enjoy your meal and let me know how it turned out when you tried 

Love
