Apex Predator I would appreciate the recipe, thank you

Came across this recipe that was an old family favourite from years gone by and thought I'd share it with you.

Easy Ginger Ale Chicken Bake recipe.

8 – 10 chicken portions, thighs, legs and breasts, skin on
1 packet brown Onion Soup
1 packet Mushroom Soup
1litre Ginger Ale

Directions

Heat oven to 130C

Take a large casserole dish that you can place a single layer of chicken pieces to cover the bottom or use more than one dish.

Mix together the soup powders and coat each piece of chicken in a fine coating of the mixture, shake off the excess
and then lay skin side up in the casserole dish.

Pour ¾ of the ginger ale into the casserole dish and pour the remaining into whatever is left of the soup powders,
give it a good stir and then pour over the top of the chicken.

Cover your dish and pop into the oven for 3 hours.
If you don’t have a dish with a lid, cover with foil.

Can be served with rice, veg or a salad.

You can fancy it up a bit by adding a few mushrooms half way through the cooking process
or mix in a tablespoon of apricot jam with the ginger ale and soup for those who like it a little sweeter.

On a side note, for those of you who make beer can roast chicken, try it with Coke or ginger ale for a change.

Serves 4 - 6

Thank you, Elsa
Will be trying that soon

Recipe for corn on the cob, if you like it, on the braai coals– you decide the quantities according to your taste

Melted butter
A squirt or two … of sweet chili sauce from the bottle
Chopped fresh chilies (one green and one red is good)
Crushed black pepper corns
Salt
Sugar (optional)
Braai spice for steak and chops

Mix all the above and brush the corn continually with the mixture over the hot coals until the corn is cooked

It is also nice to put over vegetables or potatoes in foil when you want to cook the vegetables on the braai. We just add some crushed garlic and chopped parsley then.
