Favourite pre-cook chicken recipe
« on: September 18, 2014, 08:08 PM »
Just wondering what is everybodys pre-cook chicken recipe of choice ?

I have 8 guests on Sunday and am cooking curries early and then pre-cooking the chicken and adding to the curries that are re-heating gently in the oven just before serving.

I like one of the Glasgow ones, but the cooking time is far too long. I would add the meat much later than specified.

I normally pre-cook in g/g paste, oil, a little stock and Kashmiri masala.  Cook until the chicken /just/ goes white on the outside.

Hi Andy

My favourite / easiest is to simmer it for 20-25 mins in my base gravy whilst prepping everything as per CT and various others recommendations.

Cheers
