Last night, I made Sticky Lemon Chicken, a recipe by the infamous celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. He's what you might call the "bad boy" of cooking and you may have seen the show Hell's Kitchen where he calls nervous, aspiring chefs nincompoops or worse for messing up the risotto or beef wellington. He is also the father of 3 kids and I'm sure he's very gentle and nice to them. It's an exciting show but anyway, Sticky Lemon Chicken!
Sticky lemon chicken requires:
one lemon, thinly sliced.
In his cookbook Fast Food, Gordon Ramsay says "preferably by mandolin." But what is a mandolin?
Don't be so hasty to grab your musical lute-looking thing. It's this kind of mandolin.
Not as exciting.
Lemon and flat-leaf parsley, together at last...
Chicken drumsticks, searing in the pan with a half head of burnt garlic. Heavenly!
Meet the veritable Holy Trinity of sticky lemon chicken rub: Soy sauce, sherry or red wine vinegar, and honey. For the stickiness.
Lemon IN.
Voila! Quite delicious! Not your average chicken dinner. It's sticky, it's sweet, it's salty, lemony, omg just gobble it up.
May I top you off, madam? Until next time! Humble eats :)
wow this looks so delicious! i'm impressed :)
