Using chicken marinade is a simple yet crucial step to infuse your poultry with flavor and tenderness. Whether you're grilling, baking, or sautéing, here's a step-by-step guide on how to use chicken marinade effectively:

OYSTER SAUCE - SAUCE SEASONING OF THE WEEK

I am always looking for sauces to add to my pantry since they add that extra flavour to my dishes. I have fish sauce and worcestshire sauce so adding Oyster sauce to my collection seemed like the natural thing to do. Oyster sauce is made from boiled oysters and seasoning. Despite the name, the savoury taste does not have a fishy taste to it. This is because the sauce undergoes a boiling process that retains all the flavour and removes most of the fishy taste that you might think it has.

GREEN BULLET PEPPERS - PEPPERS OF THE WEEK

I love spices and as much as I love dried spices, nothing beats the fresh ones that have wholesome nutrients and benefits. There are so many varieties of peppers that sometimes its hard to kerp up with the names or even types. Peppers come in the sweet and hot kinds, some you can eat raw and include in salads but today's variety has a different story all together. Green Bullet Peppers are usually a hot peppers variety that is too hot to eat raw. 

HOMEMADE CAJUN SPICE SEASONING

Homemade spice mix are the best! Whether you want to bake, grill or fry, spice mixes give your food that much more deliciousness. Spice mix can be either sweet like pumpkin spice or savoury like piri piri spice mix. I made some delicious Cajun Chicken Drumsticks that were so yummy, there was no left over. Simple to make and takes little time to make, all the ingredients are readily available in your local market!

WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE - SAUCE SEASONING OF THE WEEK

Worcestershire Sauce, I never really know how to pronouce that name. But this sauce is very much a part of my kitchen pantry. This is because it is a staple used for marinades and as a condiment. The sauce is also a key ingredient in making bloody mary cocktail. Worcestershire sauce is made from vinegar and flavored with onions, anchovies, garlic, molasses, tamarind plus other seasonings. There are three types of Worcestershire sauce, they include gluten free worcestershire sauce, vegetarian or vegan worcestershire sauce and low sodium worcestershire sauce

BELL PEPPERS - PEPPERS OF THE WEEK

Bell peppers are also known as sweet peppers or capsicum. They come in various colors like red, yellow, green, orange, white, purple and even mixed colored peppers which exist during parts of the ripening process. Green peppers are less sweet and slightly more bitter than yellow, orange or red peppers. Bell peppers are made up of water which is 94% and carbs like fructose, sugars and glucose. They also contain nutrients like vitamins, minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and sodium. You can cook bell peppers in so many ways. You can skewer with meats or veggies to make kabobs, you can shred into thin strips and add to your coleslaw.
