hello loveliest people and almost goodbye to the year 2020.
even though we have a lot of things that we were worried about, i want all of us to celebrate a
new beginning for the new years. in turkey we cook chicken when i was a small child like 35 years ago
i was five and for me eating chicken for the new year's eve is like kissing my childhood. so,
some people make turkey but because we're not so like crowded anymore because of the Covid, some
young people are going to be together with their friends and they don't want to set a table some
other people have this big table and chicken will be the most celebrated thing on the table. i want
to give you five different chicken recipes and presentation ideas so that it's like a different
set of partying in a way. guys if you want to like go on and cook one of these i'm going to write all
the recipes down if i have turkish video links to some of these unfortunately they are turkish
but i'm going to put links to those so that you can in detail see the whole recipe. so let's start.
for the party mode, party mode you don't sit down you just nibble like finger food and
what could those be like bit of chips some finger chickens some little chicken shish,maybe onion
rings, some pickles. if you like anything to make the fingers basic rule is you have flour
eggs and then final station as bread crumbs. for the flour we add a bit of spices to make it more
tasty and to the eggs if you add some cream it's much better and then instead of the breadcrumbs we
can use sesame seeds nigella seeds or cornflakes to make it more like kfc so this is one thing.
the other one could be a shish that you can make on a stovetop for the shish we can go to
like an asian style and make soy sauce a bit of honey and sweet chili sauce and cut it into slice
small pieces let them rest together with the sauce as long as you can and then put them on a shish and
the way you are going to make it like it's done on the coal
is you put the sheesh on the cast iron with the heat of the cast irons like a shish kebab.
and to that you can add a cheese plate which is really easy the plate that i have done for this
i saw it on the instagram and the idea was very simple and the ingredients are really simple so
you can like freeze the video here and then look at the ingredients and it looks so so nice and
in turkish lira's it costs about four to five dollars to make so it's incredibly cheap as well.
the second type of recipes that i want to share with you is like lazy Refika's or something.. Bahar: what?
there's lazy susan which turns and Bahar: there's like lazy Refika, does what? lazy Refika is when you don't want
to cook at all but people are coming and you just like want to get over with it but you want
the food to be great and these are really cheap recipes as well. so one is in turkey we had this
brand called pf chang's they were serving dynamite shrimp. and yeah this is like the shrimp and around
this crunchiness and there's this great sauce with the things that we have around i made a
sauce very close to dynamite shrimp without using mirin or rice vinegar i know most people in the
world wouldn't have it. so it's quite simple first off we have to make the sauce to make the sauce we
put water garlic hot peppers. fresh if you have, dried if you don't have it some sugar salt and
a bit of vinegar. let them simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes after it simmers put it into the
blender and let it cool and after it gets cool. mix it with the mayonnaise if you don't have time like
i always never have, you can mix them when they're hot the texture becomes a little
more gooey but that's all. the sauce is ready and you can make your own nuggets and if you
don't have time you can have ready-made nuggets in the oven you can heat them usually on the
pack they say five but make it to seven so that it can suck the sauce better and become crunchy
and then mix them together with the sauce and it's dangerous. i have to tell you it's like drinking
too much alcohol is kind of dangerous this is even more dangerous because you really cannot stop.
basically this is something you can do or you can make a schnitzel and on top of that itself
you can make some kind of spinach then you can put red peppers on top and then some cheese and give
it to the oven again and they will melt and it's going to eat this gorgeous looking chicken recipe.
another chicken recipe of course is the chicken donut for this whole chicken dinner.
we have the whole recipe on the channel i'm saying you guys you really have to watch it
you make a good marinade for the döner to come to its senses and you mix it with the chicken.
and then you put it on a baking sheet and then wrap and freeze it after it's totally frozen.
you slice it and put it on the pan and then here comes your great chicken döner.
Bahar: May i ask a question? One of out followers said 'i didn't have time to make this and freeze it so i cut
the chicken very thinly and then use your marinade. yes Bahar: and then cook it immediately and it
was wonderful. it's going to be nice, but it won't be totally like doner, but when you do it this way
almost a pro comes he or she wouldn't understand that it's not döner.
another recipe we can make is the chicken shish, for the marinade it can be very simple like salt
and pepper and then make the shish and bake it in the oven or on the stove but i want to talk about
one of my recipes which is like my goes much beyond it's and it's inspired from the indian
cuisine with the technique that i use in the oven it feels more like it's cooked in a tandoori so
the whole thing is about marination of the chicken we have 1200 grams of chicken for the eat chicken
type please divide it into six pieces and then add a lot of yogurt olive oil and then some lemon to
make the chickens even softer then we crush the garlic with a bit of salt add some cayenne pepper
fresh ginger juice will work amazingly in the chicken together with yogurt paprika powder some
curry and some turmeric powder at the same time. we have some red flaked pepper if you don't have
it you can increase the cayenne pepper and here i have this electric herb crusher which i love i had
a bit of coriander allspice a lot of cloves and one cinnamon together with that i want to make it
more indian i want to add some cardamom seeds as well and when i make it all to a dust it becomes
this amazing smelling herb and freshly crushed spices works as miracles i mix everything together
and let the mixture sit for about a day all the taste will infuse to the chicken even the color is
going to change then when it comes to the cooking please first put the chickens to the lower shelf
of the oven and cook there for about 20 minutes then brush the chickens with the leftover sauce
move the chickens to the upper shelf and increase the heat from 180 degrees to 220
and this way it will cook for 10 to 15 minutes and it will tenderize and be amazing don't forget to
turn time to time you'll have chicken that will be very similar to how you cook it in a tandoori.
you can eat it with mint, yogurt, onions with sumac or with crunchy salad like carrots, purple, cabbage
and etc. I'm sure we have a lot of indian followers and i'm sure you guys have other hints and tips
for all of us please share those what you do what else do you add to make it great so that the all
of us will learn because like i believe chicken shish tandoori is amazing it's a form of art, yes.
finally the whole chicken with a bit of potatoes it's comfort food is great if you want
to make it like a kebab we want the whole chicken to really be really good we make a marinade with
butter and some herbs we can use an enamel cup like this or you can use like a beer or coca-cola
can or something like that and we add a bit of sparkling water and the water also helps for the
tenderization the rest gets into the cup the whole thing is you put this in the middle of the chicken
with bit of herbs and spices so that the whole oven is moist with nice smelling air it's good
for the skin and we put it all together on the side some lemons and clementines and they get
inside and it gets cooked for about 45 minutes then on the side we can like chop some potatoes
a lot of garlic as much as you can even 10 15 would do and a bit of fresh rosemary i never cut
fresh rosemary when you cut fresh rosemary some bitterness gets out but if you just
beat it the taste is much better this is a Refika finding but please try mix everything
with olive oil and then all the potatoes and let the potatoes in with the chicken
if some of the parts of the chicken depending on the goodness of your oven gets browner you
can always put some kind of clothes with oil and put to that side of the chicken which is browner
to even out the cooking that's another small Refika tip after one hour 20 minutes your chicken
is going to be ready it's going to be so nice that like the skin will be crunchy and the meat will be
falling out of the bone and that's the thing we like basically this is like five different
types of chicken recipes for the new year and trust me the hardest one takes about 40 minutes
to prepare you're going to be all having a lot of fun. normally i don't give recipes from like
semi-ready thing like nuggets and etc but i believe times are changing and i want everyone
