dump chicken (lots of variations)
Post by Razra on May 3^rd, 2006, 3:33pm

I found this recipe online. The idea here is that you put all the sauce ingredients in a freezer bag along with the chicken, freeze it, and then thaw it and dump it into a pan to cook. I find that premixing this sauce helps, though, as it is fairly thick. It's one of my favorites, with a somewhat Oriental flavor.

2 tablespoons oil (if using skinless chicken) (optional)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 1/2 lbs chicken pieces (I use 5-6 pieces, depending on size)

For immediate cooking: Preheat oven to 350°F Place all ingredients into a large baking dish, turn chicken to coat. Bake until chicken juices run clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30 minutes for chicken breasts).
For freezing: Place all ingredients into a 1-gallon freezer bag. Lay flat in freezer.
To thaw and cook: Thaw completely. Preheat the oven to 350°F Empty the contents of the bag into a large baking dish and bake until the juices run clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30 minutes for chicken breasts).
