Equipment

  • saucepan
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 3/4 lb frying chickens
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Apricot Jam optional
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Heinz ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Kahlua optional
  • 1 tbsp corn-starch

Instructions

Step 1: Marinating the Chicken

  • Begin by marinating the chicken pieces in a mixture of soy sauce, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. Allow the chicken to absorb the flavors for at least 30 minutes, ensuring a delicious infusion of seasonings.

Step 2: Preparing the Sauce

  • In a separate bowl, combine chicken broth, Kahlua, red wine vinegar, Heinz ketchup, red pepper flakes, corn-starch, and apricot jam. Whisk the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and well-blended.

Step 3: Cooking the Chicken

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the marinated chicken pieces. Cook until they are golden brown on all sides, then pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken, coating the chicken evenly.

Step 4: Serving the Dish

  • Once the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has reached the desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Paradise Chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs or sesame seeds for an extra dash of flavor.

Notes

– Chicken: Ensure that the chicken pieces are evenly sized to ensure consistent cooking.
– Sauce: Adjust the sweetness and spiciness of the sauce according to your preference by tweaking the amounts of apricot jam and red pepper flakes.
– Garnish: Elevate the presentation of the dish by adding a sprinkle of chopped green onions or toasted sesame seeds before serving.
