Bonsoir my dear foody buddies, one more day my veggie-wannabe mum was secretly mad at me coz i made grilled chicken for dinner. This time grilled chicken included little challenge as i also planned to cook Hollandaise Sauce. Hollandaise is butter and egg yolk based sauce and it's one of the 6 Mother Sauces. As Im a seafood-person so enjoy it more with grilled/fried fish but it tastes awesome with chicken as well..
Ingredients:
Sauce:
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup butter
pinch of salt
1 tbsp lemon juice
Chicken marinade (for 500 gm boneless chicken pieces)
dash of olive oil
1 tsp paprika
salt, to taste
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
1/4 tsp crushed peppercorns
To do the sauce..
1. Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in a steel bowl, whisk quickly until the mixture is thick.
2. in a separate bowl, melt/soften some butter. Here we can use double boiling method: keep the bowl on a saucepan of hot water for a second.
3. add butter to the egg mixture and whisk all quickly, again put the bowl on top of hot water pan for a second and whisk thoroughly. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERHEAT IT COZ IT WILL COOK THE EGGYOLK AND WE DONT WANT THAT!!!!
4. Add pinch of salt and keep whisking for few minutes.
For the chicken
1. Mix all the marinade ingredients, rub it on chicken pieces and keep in fridge for an hour.
2. Cook them on grill on both sides for couple of minutes.
To check if the chicken is done while grilling: simply press it with spoon/tong and if its soft that means chicken is raw. It should be hard to touch.
