Lemon and silverbeet chicken after Abla

This is what happened when you have a few chicken drumettes left over from the previous recipe and wonder what to do with them! This is the basic original Abla recipe but with silverbeet on top. Be sure to cover the baking dish for the second part of the cooking so that the silverbeet doesn't dry out.  I enjoyed it with rice.

Ingredients

6 chicken drumettes
2 dessertspoon rock salt
1/2 lemon

1/2 tbs of minced garlic

Silverbeet 3-4 leaves

Mode

Preheat oven to 210c.
Arrange the chicken drumettes in an uncovered baking dish
Sprinkle with rock salt 
Roast for 30 minutes
Meanwhile juice the lemon
Add minced garlic to juice (about 50 ml in total)

Stir thoroughly

Roughly chop the silverbeet including white but discarding ends

Remove the chicken from the oven and pour the mixture over chicken

Add silverbeet to top

Place a lid or foil on top of the baking dish
Return to oven and roast for another 25-35 minutes.

Serve with rice or roast vegetables  

Lemon and mushroom chicken after Abla

Lots of nice fresh chicken drumettes sprang to my eye when I was at Piedimonte's the other day on an allowed outing from lockdown. So, of course, I thought of my variants of Abla's chicken wings.  This time the variant to my Abla chicken recipe was to use wild mushroom sea salt instead of her normal salt and to add mushrooms to her recipe. I cooked wholegrain Basmati rice to accompany the chicken. It was a lovely meal for a cold Melbourne night in lockdown and I had plenty left over to share with friends. 

Ingredients

16 chicken drumettes
2 dessertspoon wild mushroom sea salt
2 lemons

1.5 tbs of minced garlic

5 mushrooms

Mode

Preheat oven to 210c.
Arrange the chicken drumettes in a baking dish
Sprinkle with mushroom sea salt 
Roast for 30 minutes
Meanwhile juice the lemons
Add minced garlic to juice (about 150 ml in total)

Stir thoroughly

Slice the mushrooms

Remove the chicken from the oven and pour the  mixture over chicken

Sprinkle mushroom slices over the top
Return to oven and roast for another 25-35 minutes.

Serve with rice or roast vegetables
