Chef Jonker's Beggers' Chicken


Dear hubby spent nearly a whole afternoon in the kitchen to prepare this dish. He marinated four chicken drumsticks for an hour. Later it looked like he was going to make pizza with the salt dough as he rolled them into standard round pizza sizes. Then he added a little special something into each of the chicken drumsticks. Each of them then had a different flavour - the first was sambal chicken, the second was tomato chicken, the third was spring onion chicken and the fourth was honey chicken.

He placed each individual chicken into tin foils and wrapped the salt dough around the tin foil. Then it was into the oven for three hours...

The beggers' chicken was worth the wait. By 9 pm, our tummies were already growling.


Hubby made vegetarian fried rice to go along with our chicken.


The beggers' chicken...the meat was very tender and succulent.


It was a perfect dish...

I have got to say beggers' chicken is my favourite dish by hubby now...beating the red curry!

  1. Wow! What is the salt dough used for? Can it be eaten?

    I hope to try them some day too!
