500 g chicken pieces (e.g., thighs, drumsticks, or portions)
1 can KOO Mild and Spicy Chakalaka
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: Cooking spray or a drizzle of oil for the dish
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan-assisted) or 200°C (conventional). Lightly grease your casserole or roasting dish.
Prepare Chakalaka Sauce: Open the can of KOO Mild and Spicy Chakalaka. Pour the contents into a blender or food processor and blend until the mixture is smooth.
Season Chicken: Place the chicken pieces into the prepared casserole dish. Season them well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Coat and Cover: Pour the blended chakalaka sauce evenly over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake (Covered): Cover the dish tightly with a lid or aluminium foil. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
Brown Top: Remove the lid or foil. Return the uncovered dish to the oven and roast for a further 10 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelise and thicken slightly, and the chicken to brown on top.
Serve: Serve the chakalaka chicken hot with rice, potatoes, or a fresh side salad.
