Wake Up and Smell the Cake

Been making airfried chicken wings for the past two sahurs, cos Husband approves! I made my go-to chicken wing marinade using Nando's sauce and some other stuff, and airfried them with no oily mess of deep frying or baking in the oven, and at more than half the time required in the oven! Definite winner! Only downside is cleaning the basket. So for future reference, here's the recipe. 500g chicken wings (no drumlets) 2 tbsp Nando's sauce 1 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp soy sauce 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 1 tbsp tomato pesto Pinch of salt Marinate overnight. Airfry at 200 degrees Celsius for 8 minutes skin side up. Turn the wings on the other side and airfry for another 8 minutes. Crispy yummy skin, with juicy chicken inside! I love!

It's that raya baking time again! :) Yesterday I made another batch of Nutella tarts (made 1 batch for personal consumption a week ago) partly for my sister and part for me, and chocolate chip cookies. This time round I used my mum's chocolate chip recipe instead of the so called "Almost Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies", and I think this tastes more like Famous Amos! And this yields way more too, for 1 block of butter. Less sinful too perhaps? HAHA. There are no pictures, probably I'll update later and include pictures. Nutella Tart 1 tin butter 3 eggs + 1 egg yolk 3 tbsp susu manis 2 tbsp ghee 1 1/2 tsp salt 700 - 800g flour (I never measure) Bake tarts at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes, take them out to cool. Once cooled, pipe Nutella. Bake them again at 160 degrees Celsius for 5 or 6 minutes to harden the Nutella a little bit. Mak's Chocolate Chip Cookie I made some adjustments, the flour is supposed to be 5 cups, but I reduced to 4...

Yesterday night as I was prepping chicken for this morning's sahur, I was out of soy sauce and couldn't make kung pao chicken. Hence I made a never before tried concoction, and decide to throw in sesame oil for a twist. While I marinated the chicken, the sesame oil smell was strong, was afraid that Husband may not like it. But thankfully after frying, was toned down and in fact it was yummy! So I have to note this down, in case I need a quick stir fry. Spicy Sesame Oil Chicken Stir Fry 400g thigh boneless chicken (was 500g, but I removed skins), cut into strips 1 1/2 tbsp Nando's marinade 1 tsp sesame oil 3 tbsp kicap manis 1 tsp chili paste 1 1/2 (or 2 ) tbsp honey 1 tsp garlic powder Handful of wok fried peanuts Mix all wet sauces together with the chicken and marinate for about 15 minutes. Fry on a nonstick pan, until  the chicken is cooked. Sprinkle garlic powder and fried peanuts and cook till juices are reduced to the amount that you desire. Tada! It...
