Babyfaced Assassins crunchy lemon chicken haha!!

[Babyfaced Assassin]

I made this last night whilst experimenting, tasted damn nice!

Ok so i got stripped skinless bonessless chicken breasts and marinated them in:

Lemon Juice
Fresh Chopped Coriander
1/2 Tsp Chilli Powder
1 tsp Olive Oil

For about 8 hours

then just before cooking them i got a tbsp of Oat Bran and coated the strips

I whacked them inder the grill (maybe frying them in a little fry light in a non stick pan would have made it a bit crunchier)

Anyway they tasted awesome especially when served with Nando's Hot piri piri sauce

Mmm sounds good man, I like the crunchy addition. Steel cut oats would probably work well eh? You could also do a quick egg wash (dip the breast in a beaten egg) which will make the crunch stick better.

Also, by coriander, you mean cilantro-- the leafy stuff, not coriander the seed, right? I love coriander but not cilantro.. could swap that with basil or thyme and would be just as tasty.

is that what cilantro is bigmantitties?
haha i see that stuff on US recipes but never knew what it was cos we call it coriander here (fresh coriander yes not the seed)

I like the idea of the egg whites, bump up the protein and taste factor!!

will try that

I am a big cilantro fan also, and the Oatbran coating sounds really nice. Im trying this.

>>is that what cilantro is bigmantitties?

LOL yea.. makes no sense, it should all be coriander-- so I agree with the brits. It's the same seed, the same plant. Cilantro looks a lot like flat leaf italian parsley.. even had a guy ask me which is which in the supermarket last week as I was packaging up some parsley. Like just cause I'm fat, I know all about food! Of course, I did know... hehe

Definitely dip it in a beaten egg first.. up the protein and the coating will stick much better. If you're going the coriander route, I would switch the lemon juice for lime and add to the marinade: few cloves of smashed garlic, crushed cumin and fennel seeds.

I can post my sundried tomato & basil marinade if you want.. it's my favorite for chicken.

Guys I tried this but without the oats and I added to the recipe "White Wine" and let me tell you guys this is to die for... the only bad thing was that my wife took half of my chicken

I remember from the old school I used to use white wine for cooking chicken and fish instead of oils... and the food tastes like made out a 5 stars hotel.

I hope you like it...

I'll try this with wine, with oats-- with all. Time for me to step from bland to marinade land!

Thanks!
