Grill Chicken with Mash Potato Mumy




Today I make simple grill chicken recipe for the family. Served with mashed potato and brown gravy.. senang jer buat nih.


Things you need:
Chicken, any part you like, like me I prefer chicken thighs. Garlic powder, a small knob of butter, dried/fresh thyme herb, salt & pepper for seasoning, and a bit of oyster sauce and also some brown sugar. For the mashed potato, you will need a bag of potato, couple of tablespoon of whipping cream milk, salt and pepper for seasoning, a knob of butter and dried/fresh parsley.

How to make:
Marinate the chicken parts with all the things listed above. When I grill anything I usually favor dried herbs than fresh ones so that it will be less watery when grilling. So back to marinating, chill the marinated chicken for about 15 mins or so in the fridge (covered yah).
Now start cleaning and peel your potatoes. I normally just cut them into smaller pieces and boil them in a microwave heheheh… once done, strain the potatoes drop in the butter and season them and straight away mash to the desired texture. Put in the cream milk and stir (you can stir on a small fire too).
Now back to the chicken; put on a tray layered with foil paper, drizzle some olive oil and pour in all the liquid too. Grill at 200 degrees until crispy brown. For the gravy pulak; once the chicken is done, remove from tray onto a plate and scrape the left over’s on the foil into a nonstick saucepan. Add in more garlic if you like, a little bit of butter and flour, stir fry until foamy and light brown in color and add in water (just enough for gravy) and boil until thickens, corn flour at this point is optional. You can also add in mushroom if u like.

Good luck everyone..
