Experimental Kitchen Sunday!

So today is another experimental kitchen Sunday! I am very rested and very excited for today's subject. I decided to make Chicken Lollipops with Honey, Lemon, and Ginger Sauce. I decided to not do groceries as NCCC and try SM Davao's grocery for a change. They've always been proud of their "We've got it all for you" slogan and I wanted to put them to the test.

Consider me, a loyal fan now, SM. I was truly blown away at how orderly, gigantic, well-stocked, and professionally staffed you are. It took me and B less than 30 minutes to locate everything that we needed. All the aisles were labeled well and were made in a way that was certainly friendly for those with eye problems. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were certainly knowledgeable as where everything was, they'd even direct you to which brand would be best or which would be more budget friendly.

B was certainly happy, he got himself a bottle of Kimchi. I loved how their poultry section already had ready made chicken lollipops that weren't expensive. I have to say I am happiest when I'm strolling through the aisles of markets and groceries. I am always fascinated at the different colors, smells, and most of all, the possibilities. I am always enthralled at how with just a handful of items, one could create something entirely different for those around them. So anyway, on to the discussion of today's subject.

The ingredients are as follows:
Chicken lollipops with skin on, seasoned with salt (or fish sauce) and pepper
A thumb-sized piece of ginger
Juice of one lemon 4 to 6 tbsps. of honey
2 tbsps. of finely sliced onion leaves, for garnish (this one is optional)

The recipe was easy enough to make. It did not require much effort nor was it much of a hassle. It did, however, point out the very glaring issue of my lack of item required to achieve certain parts of the recipe. (I lack a juicer) So I had to turn to B's brute strength to tide us through. I thought it was just a waste though but at least I now know that lemons will always be within reach. I still am on the quest to find a grocery that sells chicken fillets. It is either that, or I break open the knife set that my dad got and do the fillets myself. That's an adventure for another time.

This recipe is one of those 'serve instantly' kind of things. Also, it would be best if after cooking the chicken, you slice them up a bit and drizzle the sauce over it. That way, the flavor seeps into the meat really well.

Here's my finished product:I certainly had fun in this week's subject. I've yet to decide on what next week's subject will be but research is more than half the fun! ♥
