Delicious in Dungeon #70: Grilled Cockatrice

 Last recipe!!!! whoaaaoaoaoao

Remember the cockatrice? this ones a big one. So, this last recipe actually just features in a little bit of bonus manga content after the story. The official recipe was the previous one. But since it exists, we're doing it! Then we can round things off with a nice even number.


We got some yakitori paste which is perfect for this, as i think we're just effectively making yakitori. We got some breasticles for the white meat and some skin-on cockatrice legs for the skin and dark meat.


Separating the skin from the meat, and the meat from the bone. OMG what is the trick to getting meat off a thigh bone seriously, this took me way too long.


We have quite a lot of the chicken and not much of the marinade, so to stretch it out a bit im adding extra soy sauce and some ginger powder. To marinate i just add half of the yakitori sauce and those other things i just said, and we'll add the rest of the sauce during the grilling.


While the meat is marinating i thoroughly wash the chopping board and knife, because i forgot to chop the leek beforehand!


I had to use a keen eye to recognise which parts were breast and thigh meat, and separate the skin back out to try and get it on the skewer. It was a bit of work, but look! I totally succeeded.


When its looking mostly done I take it out, drizzle on the rest of the sauce and add a sprinkle of sesame seeds. The baking sheet under the grill will catch the excess and we can spoon it back on at the end if need be.

Wow!! Quite good actually. Nice flavours, and the different cuts add variety. I was worried the leeks would still be tough, but everything seemed well cooked. My mum was over and i think she liked it too, except the chicken skin. I thought it was nicely crispy though.
