This might look like a bit of a showy dressed up gig. But we’re not keen on spending more for a Small Chicken, than a Large one was last year. So when Poussin appear in the Yellow Sticker fridge I’m more than happy to pay the discounted price knowing that there’s enough per serving and no waste. They have a much greater Meat / Cavity
ration than the larger birds, so they actually work out better value.
Ingredients:-
2 Poussins
Marinade Ingredients:-
2 Tbsp of Honey
2 Tbsp of Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil

As we’re enjoying our Asian recipes at the moment and have pretty much all the ingredients at hand, it would have been erroneous not to ‘Chinesificate’ them!
1 Jam of shop bought Curry Sauce (We used Jalfrezi)
1 Tin of chopped Tomatoes
¼ tube of Tomato Purée
Salt and Pepper
Vegetable Oil for frying
Method:-
(1) Fry the chopped Onion and Mushroom until softened.
(2) Add the Ginger, Garam Masala, Paprika, Salt and Pepper and stir well. Fry gently for a couple of minutes.
(3) Add the Garlic, Curry Sauce, chopped Tomatoes, Tomato Purée and simmer to reduce for 20 minutes.
(4) Chop the Chicken meat into rough cubes and add. Simmer until the Chicken is thoroughly heated. Do not cook for too long at this stage as the Chicken will bread down into shreds.
