BBQ Chicken Marinated

Chef El's Barbeque Chicken

** Defrost the frozen bbq chicken pack overnight in a chiller before use** 

Remove the thawed Barbeque Chicken from the package and place them in a bowl. Refresh the marinade by tossing and massaging the chicken.

Pan-Fry :  (Time: 12-17 minutes)

• Heat up a nonstick pan on medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil, let it heat for a couple of minutes.
• Place the thawed chicken on the pan and allow the chicken to sear for 5-7 minutes.
• Fry for 5 minutes or until meat is evenly browned and gently stir and turn them over on the other side and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
• Add 1/4 cup water and put a lid on so the moisture doesn’t escape. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Deep Fry :

• Place a deep-frying pan on medium heat. Add enough oil to completely submerge the pieces of barbeque chicken.
• Heat oil to 170℃. To test, slide a thawed barbeque chicken in the oil and if it sizzles, then you are on the right track.
• Once the oil is hot, slide the thawed barbeque chicken in gently, one by one, into the oil. Gently stir and turn them over occasionally until it is golden-brown on all sides.
• Once cooked, remove carefully onto a paper towel with a slotted spoon.

Air Fryer :

• Spray the basket of an air fryer with cooking spray and set aside.
• Place the thawed chicken in the fryer basket so they are not touching
• Set the air fryer to 360°C and cook for 12 minutes, then flip the BBQ chicken with tongs and cook for 12 minutes more.
• Flip the chicken again, increase the heat to 390 degrees F and cook until the outsides are extra-crispy, about 6 minutes more.

Baking in an Oven:  (Time: 20 - 25 minutes)

• Preheat your oven to 180℃.
• While it’s heating, heat a teaspoon of oil in a non-stick frying pan. Spread out the thawed barbeque chicken on the surface of the pan and let them sear on both sides, flipping occasionally.
• Once seared, transfer the chicken onto a baking tray. Place it in the oven to cook for 10-15 minutes.

Grill Method :  (Time: 20 - 25 minutes)

• Light up your barbecue grill. Place the barbeque chicken on the hot grills and let them brown on both sides, flipping them occasionally.
• As is the case with most grilled meats, it will turn out slightly drier than the frying method.

Serving Suggestions:

Let the Barbeque Chicken rest for a few minutes once cooked.

Serve hot with your favourite dipping sauce.
