What Do You Call a Mini Hotdog?

Hot Puppy.

I overhead my 4.5yo girl telling her grandma when she serves her those cocktail sausages.

Mama, this hotdog is so cute. I want to call it “Hot Puppy.”

Baked Chicken with Italian Herbs

Asianized Baked Chicken with Italian Herbs to be exact. :D I’m in the process of experimenting in baking chicken using my new Elba oven. :)

The recipe is almost the same as the Delicious Baked Chicken for Kids. I just add Lee Kum Kee Selected Dark Soy Sauce to it.

Anyway, here’s the recipe again. This time I just use the normal tablespoon, not the measuring spoon.

Ingredient for 10 Chicken Drumsticks:
2 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil for you to give the drumsticks a good massage. :lol:
1 Tbsp of McCormick Garlic Powder; sprinkle of the drumsticks after the massage session. ;)

2 Tbsp of Lee Kum Kee Premium Brand Oyster Sauce
1 Tbsp of Lee Kum Kee Selected Dark Soy Sauce
4 Tbsp of Cap Lembu Light Soy Sauce
A dash of Salt
A dash of White Pepper

I mixed all of the above in a small bowl then I pour it onto the chicken drumsticks. This time I just use a spoon to mix them; not in the mood to dirty my hands. :P

Next, I gave them a good sprinkle of McCormick Italian Herbs. Then place the marinated chicken drumstick in a plastic bag and leave it in the fridge overnight.

The next day, I cut one large onion, placed them in the baking tray and spread them in the baking tray. This time I omitted the potato.

Since this chicken has no cavity for me to stuff the Lemon in, I just place the Lemon in the middle of the baking pan and arranged the drumsticks all around it. The Lemon gives the chicken a lil of zesty smell.

Then I covered the baking tray with aluminum foil and bake it for 1 hour at 200′C. After an hour, I removed the aluminum foil and let it bake for another 10 minutes to give the chicken a good tan.

I just love the smell of the Italian Herbs and the Asian taste. :D
