Cold Chicken With Curry Mayonnaise

"A make-ahead dish, which can be served to guests. The curry isn't overwhelming - it's in the sauce and adds flavour. A good dish for a hot day. Thanks to Annette Human's Microwave Winners. I prefer to roast the chicken conventionally. The cooking time does not include the chilling time."

  • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place in a deep dish and microwave for 22-25 minutes on 100% power, or until cooked. Turn over from time to time. Remove the chicken from the dish and allow to cool. Skim the fat from the liquid in the dish.

  • Combine the apricot jam, curry powder, vinegar and cornflour. Stir into the onion mixture. Microwave the mixture, uncovered, for about 4 minutes on 100% power, or until thick; stir halfway through this time. Allow to cool. Stir the mayonnaise into the cold onion mixture. Arrange the cold chicken thighs on a serving platter and spoon the curried mayonnaise over them. Chill well.

  1. ... Apologies but I fried the onions in Olive Oil and Butter until just translucent and the followed with the rest of the ingredients with a touch of water the righty side of soft mixed .. chicken was precooked bought (tempus fugit) but drumstick a la BBQ Sugar etc... I mixed the mayonnaise only on serving just to better keep the unused chicken mix until Anon.. Inspired Menu and reminiscent of Other South African Stews... simple and subtle and will go with any (cold) left over Curries.. L&K.Mmy,Me,TU&Apricot

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Not much to tell! I'm a South African living in London, mother of four rangingfrom 25 to 9. I am desperately trying to get my children's stories published - anyone out there interested? Until my ship sails in, I cook, eat everything and anything, and then diet like mad. I love experimenting with new recipes and I absolutely hate spoilt kids who visit and say? "what is THIS?" and push it away without trying. My favourite cookbook is Mrs Beeton's family cookbook. 1994 edition.
