“We’ve eaten this since we were children growing up in Carletonville. My mother, Cynthia Morton, used to make it for us. I serve it with white rice, a mixed salad and butternut with cinnamon and sugar.” – Cheryl Pope.
Ingredients
Method
- 1 cup Mrs Ball’s Original chutney
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 packet brown onion soup powder
- ½ cup water
Method
Ingredients
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Mix the chutney, mayonnaise, soup powder and water. If the sauce looks too thick, add a little more water.
3. Place the chicken in an ovenproof dish and pour over the sauce.
4. Cover with tin foil and bake until the chicken is cooked through (about 40 minutes), turning once. Remove the foil and increase the heat to 200°C. Allow the skin to brown for 10 minutes.
Cook’s note: The sauce can burn quickly due to the sugar content so keep a close eye on it towards the end of the cooking time. As soon as the chicken is cooked through, remove from the oven.
