Lined with what?

corblimey

The recipe I'm considering for dinner states I should the chicken pieces into a lined tray. Do they mean some sort of baking paper? Is it absolutely necessary?

I'd say they do mean baking paper or foil, otherwise those look like they might stick to the baking tray to me

I always line the tray with baking parchment when I'm cooking things like this. It stops them sticking and makes the washing up a lot easier.

Foil would work aswell as parchment? I have foil, I'd have to go out and get parchment?

You can stick some veg oil on the foil and wipe it around with a kitchen towel. The egg mixture is likely to stick.

I use "magic sheets", nothing sticks to them, reusable black silicone based sheets, get them for ~€5 in supermarkets in the tinfoil, greaseproof paper section.

If you have a teflon or analon baking sheet use that without the foil. If you use foil, oil it first both under and on top to stop the crumbs sticking.

It took me a while to get this done, as I kept forgetting to get the necessaries. I couldn't find 'magic sheets' anywhere in my local Tescos, are they normally with the foil and all that stuff? I picked up some parchment paper though and it worked fine. The recipe was gorgeous too if anyone's looking for a quick and tasty snack - it probably wouldn't work without a large side salad or a big pile of chips

Had this again today, this time with extra mouths and while it went down quite well, most people wanted 'zingier'! I left the chicken in the egg/soy mixture for about 30mins but it didn't really make much of a diff, and I can't imagine adding more soy would make it zingier. So what could I add to the mix that would spice things up a little without overpowering the dish? I'm open to anything really, I have a wide selection of herbs and spices in my local Tesco

(PS, I got one of those magic sheets rubadub mentions. Man, is it handy! I'm going to be cooking everything on this from now on!)

4 Chicken breast, skin removed
1 free-range Egg,
60ml Soy sauce
80g cornflakes

You mix the egg and soy sauce together, plop the chicken in and then coat in crushed cornflakes. V.tasty on the bbq.

A little crushed garlic and/or mild chilli powder in the soy sauce and egg mix?

The Sweeper

Try adding a little rice wine and lemon juice to the soy sauce, or make a totally separate sauce for dipping or pouring, involving soy sauce, rice wine, lemon juice, sugar, chili sauce and a little water or stock, heated in a pan and thickened with a little cornflour/water paste.
