Chicken Cola

[Tegellan]

Simple recipe for a delicious oven baked chicken, you will excuse me if the measurements are european:

You need:
One largish chicken, about 6 pounds.

Marinade:
2 deciliters cola, any kind, but regular not diet, you need the sugar
1 small can of tomato pure
1 deciliter brown sugar (the lumpy dark brown sticky stuff)
½ deciliter of soy sauce
1 teaspoon sambal oelek
2-3 cloves of garlic
3 centimeters of fresh ginger

Combine the marinade ingredients in a blender and run until smooth, then smear it on the chicken and make sure to save some to smear on it once or twice while in the oven.

I suggest heating the oven to 160 degrees C, and putting the chicken in for 1½ to 2 hours, the lower temperature makes the meat much juicier in my experience.

Suggestions for serving:
Oven baked potato boats and cole slaw

deciliters!

Fuck the deciliters! I had to wiki sambal oelek. Asian market maybe?

[Tegellan]

You can get it at Asian markets I would think, over here you can get it in most well assorted supermarkets too, so i assumed it was easy to get in the US too. But any Asian market should have it for sure.

And yes, no cups or crap here, we like our deciliters!

You can probably find it at an ordinary grocery store too

Yeah, Sambal isn't hard to find.

Where there is Sriracha, there is Sambal!

[Lalanae]

I always have a small container of sambal oelek or sriracha in my fridge. They've become one of my most used condiments as I like a little kick to many of the things I prepare, without the acidity that Tabasco or jalapenos impart (although those have their places too)

Great on sandwiches!
