Topic: Base Sauce Theory

If you look at Marinating,the longer you leave it Marinating the better the flavour as it gives the Spices time to 'infuse' right into the Meat or whatever your Marinating,I think it's probably the same principle problem is Freezing might stop this process.

When i make chicken tikka to use for a latter day i make the marinade and mix with raw chicken then freeze it all together in a food bag, while the chicken is freezing its still marinating and when its being defrosted it gets another marinate.

Hi UF,

I've heard this theory before, and if I'm not mistaken, I think it was CA that pointed it out?  I've never actually tried it out but it does make sense.

I use this method for when we go camping so that when we arrive, set tent and other stuff the chicken has now defrosted so BBQ can now commence.

Yeah, I do this all of the time too, works a treat.

I just  add it directly into the curry with no precooking and always end up with tender juicy chicken tikka

Nice one, i never knew this would work, i'll put this away with Jerry's freezing yoghurt.
Thanks
