Making Baked Chicken to Support Vietnam vs Australia

Last night, the Vietnamese football team had a match against Australia in the third World Cup qualifier of the Asia region. Although it was only a qualifying match, for us it was a celebration because it was the first time in history that we entered the final World Cup qualifier in Asia. Therefore, I made baked chicken to support this match. See the steps below.

Ingredients:
Chicken
Onion
Garlic
Chili
Black pepper
Lemon leaves or lime skin
Salt
Sugar
Seasoning powder
Fish sauce
Soil sauce
Cooking oil

Step 1 | Prepare the ingredients
Chop the onion, garlic, chili and lime leaves as finely as possible. Then grind the black pepper and add it with the above ingredients to mix them together.

Step 2 | Make the marinade
Put the finely chopped onion, garlic, chili, lime leaves and black pepper in a bowl. Add salt, sugar, seasoning powder, fish sauce, soil sauce and cooking oil to the bowl. Then mix the mixture together to make the marinade.

Step 3 | Marinate chicken
Use needle-shaped objects such as toothpicks, lemon tree thorns, needles, etc. to pierce the entire chicken skin with the aim of allowing the marinade to penetrate the chicken evenly and also to help it cook more evenly when baked. Then pour the marinade over the chicken and mix well and leave the chicken for 30 minutes to let it absorb the spices.

Step 4 | Bake the chicken
After waiting for about 30 minutes for the chicken to absorb the spices, bake it for the first 30 minutes, then flip the chicken and bake for another 30 minutes. And finally brush the honey evenly over the chicken and bake for another 10 minutes. And ta-da...we had a delicious baked chicken to cheer on for the national team game. Even though our team lost 0-1, we are still very proud of our players. Congratulations to the Australian team! At least we had good chicken and a good time together.

Have a nice day and good meal!
