Death by Chicken

There's a good reason for the title... it's calor-lethal. My mom used to make the less lethal version (but with chicken pieces) often when we were growing up, everyone remembers it, but often can't remember how to make it.

If you're watching calories, rather scroll down and use the calorie controlled recipe version.


Ingredients

125ml Cross 'n Blackwell Mayo
1 x 1/4 Tin Apricot Jam
1/2 x Pack Brown Onion Soup
1 x Cup water
1 x Whole Chicken, cut into pieces, extra skin/fat removed
Oil
Seasoning

*If you like to have some rice with your sauce.. double up on the mayo, jam, brown onion soup and water

Brown the chicken pieces with a little oil in a pan to seal
Place the chicken pieces in a big enough oven dish so the pieces aren't on top of each other
 (drain as much of the oil and fat off as you can - you can even pat the pieces with kitchen towel to absorb the fat/oil)
Mix together the mayo, jam, brown onion soup and water
Pour that over the chicken pieces and bake until the chicken in cooked through and the sauce has thickened
Half way through swoosh the sauce around to mix and recoat the chicken pieces

Calories -720 Cals per serving if served with rice.
Food for thought... every 100g of mayo contains 50g fat
Although it looks like 'only' 720 Cals, it's loaded with Fat


Less Lethal Version

Instead of chicken pieces, use chopped up chicken breast pieces
(still important to seal the chicken)
Mix 1 packet of brown onion soup with 250ml liqui fruit apricot juice (if the sauce gets too thick, add water)
 - Follow the rest of the instructions as is

Calories - a more modest 550Cals and a lot less fat
