Donna Hay bug has hit me hard! Her recipes are super simple to follow and always results in yummy food. The ingredients are fairly easy to get (even in India) and not much prep time is needed to make the dish. Thanx Zoe for getting me started on The Hay Way!
This is my second entry to the blog hop, Cook Like A Star, organised by Zoe from Bake For Happy Kids. The featured chef for the month of March is Donna Hay.
Sticky Chinese Chicken
Adapted from Donna Hay
Ingredients:
1 small piece ginger, peeled and sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1/4 teaspoon five spice (Five spice is a spice blend traditionally used in Asian cooking. It contains star anise, fennel, cassia bark, pepper and cloves. I didn't have any five spice powder at home, so I made mine with roasted star anise, fennel, cinnamon, pepper and cloves)
3 star anise
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup (125ml) soy sauce
1 cup (250ml) chicken stock
1/4 cup (60ml) oyster sauce (you can get it at any super market)
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (I used boneless chicken, cut into cubes)
steamed rice, to serve
Method:
Preheat oven to 200ºC. Place the ginger, garlic, five spice, star anise, sugar, soy, stock and oyster sauce in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Place the chicken in an ovenproof dish, pour over the ginger mixture, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 1 hour or until tender. Remove the cover, and further bake it for 10 minutes or so, until the chicken starts browning. If the chicken looks too soupy add some cornstarch to it ( I didn't do it, but is advised by my friend Joyce from Kitchen Flavors). Serve with the rice.

I must confess I'm not much for celebrity chefs and hadn't heard of Donna Hay till now. This dish you've made looks and sounds good though.I can just imagine piling it on a plate of steaming white rice!
