Mayo & Chutney Chicken


Mayonnaise and chutney may sound like an unusual combination for a chicken casserole, but this saucy, flavorsome dish is much-loved in South Africa. It never fails to increase the appetite of your guests, who will invariably ask for more chicken, or, as they say in Afrikaans, "vra na meer hoender".


Ingredients:
6 Chicken portions, with skin
1 x Onion, finely chopped
2 x cloves of chopped garlic
1 x 1 teaspoon Worcester sauce
¾ to 1 cup chutney (I used Wellingtons)
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:
Put the chicken, skin side down, into a pan.
Cook for about 8 mins on each side but drain the fat from the pan whilst doing so.
Put the oil from the chicken into a pot.  Add the onion and gently sauté for about 5 mins.
Add the water, Garlic and Worcester Sauce and stir well.
Mix the mayo and chutney together and add it to the onion mix.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook on a moderate heat for a further 30-40 mins, turning occasionally.
