Recipe for Rotisserie Chicken and Macaroni & Cheese

Assalaam aleykom WBT and A Very2 Good Day

Last time, a few readers were asking me about the recipe to make the Ayam Golek Sempoi and also Mac and Cheese. Well, my wife has finally managed to get the full instructions out of her recipe book and into my Inbox :D

So, for those of you interested, insya-Allaah these are the respective recipes :)

ROTISSERIE CHICKEN a.k.a. AYAM GOLEK SEMPOI

• 3 table spoons of HP Sauce (sos kurma) 
• 2 table spoons of Black Pepper (powder)
• 2 table spoons of Sweet Soy Sauce (she used Cap Kipas Udang)
• 1 table spoon of Oyster Sauce
• 2 table spoons of Plum Sauce (can also use tomato sauce as a substitute)
• Salt to taste

Add all the ingerdients together... taste... and smother all over chicken... Marinade for at least... 30-minutes I guess :) Of course, wash the chicken first :)

Next, tie-up the bird so that its drum-sticks and wings are tight to its body... Then, take the rotisserie bar/rod or what ever you call it,... Sula the chicken (and make sure its firm)... Put it in the oven with the settings:

1. Set to ROTISSERIE function
2. Set temperature to 225-230 degrees celcius
3. Make sure there's a pan (preferably covered with aluminium foil) under the bird so that it can 'catch' all the excess and melted oil, fat and marinade

Cook for 45-55 minutes, and insya-Allaah you'll have something comparable to Kenny Rogers Roasters :P Heheheh... Oh! According to the oven manual, open the oven door a bit (~1-2 inches) during the last 15-minutes of cooking. This will help give the chicken skin a crispier texture.
