"Claypot" Chicken

Claypot cooking is a method of cooking in an unglazed clay pot and is used in various cuisines around the world. This recipe is actually cooked in a wok but is very similar to a traditional claypot chicken recipe from China. It can be found in the Woolworths Good Taste magazine Volume 16, Number 5.
Chicken Thighs are marinated in cornflour, soy sauce and sherry then stir fried in peanut oil. The chicken is removed and you then stir fry some ginger, garlic and capsicum. The chicken is returned to the wok with some chicken stock, a cinnamon stick, soy sauce and sherry and simmered until cooked through. The "Claypot" Chicken is served drizzled with sesame oil and topped with sliced red chillies on a bed of rice. Super simple and full of all those delicious traditional Chinese flavours. Great week night dish.
Rating 7 out of 10.
