Chicken Bak Kwa (Halal)
I made bbq pork some time back and have always wanted to make a chicken version so my friends who do not eat pork can try it as well. This time, I added chillie paste to it to get it spicy like how they do in Singapore.
Taste wise, it turned out quite alright and I am quite pleased with the result.
Ingredients:
500 gms chicken thigh (minced)
Marinate:
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp soya sauce
1/2 - 1 thsp dark soya sauce
50 gm dark brown sugar
30 gm sugar
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp chilli paste (optional)
1/8 tsp 5 spiced powder
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp fresh orange juice
a big drop of red food coloring (optional)
Method:
Season ground chicken with the marinate and leave in the fridge overnight or at least 4 hours.(marinating is more flavorful but so often i have made without marinating and the result is just as good.
Turn oven to 150C.
Oil baking sheet, put a chinese bowl of marinated chicken on baking sheet and try to spread meat as thinly as possible to cover the whole sheet.
Bake in oven for 10 mins or until firm to the touch.

Remove from oven and using a pair of scissors or a knife and cut meat into pieces.
Repeat (3) to (5)
Meat is now ready for grilling or wrapped in foil and freeze until needed.
