It's 9.16 a.m.
In 10 days I'll have to take the Computational Chemistry exam and I seriously
start studying. But before diving in SCF and DFT related stuff, I'd like to
share my outstanding chicken marinade recipe. Is it a childish excuse not to
face the university problems? Maybe. But I guarantee you it's a bomb.
First off: remove from the chicken the connective tissue and the tendons.
Engrave the chicken along horizontal lines and put some salt crystals into
these slits. Then take a food-grade plastic bag: put the bird inside and add:
- olive oil,
- sweet paprika,
- thyme,
- soy sauce.
Close carefull the bag and massage it lovingly for 5 minute. Put it in the
fridge and wait for a couple of hours.
The best way to cook the chicken is by using an air fryer - you can buy it at
a very low price on Amazon for about 30$. 30 min at 180/200 °C. Final tip: a
teaspoon of honey on the crispy surface(*) of the chicken will take you to
heaven.

Time to open Jensen's book.
(*)That lovely crispness is due to the Maillard reaction - if you're interested
read something on Wikipedia.
