Marmite Chicken has been on my wishlist to try for a few year now. I’ve been looking for a recipe that doesn’t require that chicken be deepfried and I found it at last.
I thought this recipe was from Ancoo Journal but when I visited her site again, I couldn’t find it anymore. Anyways, this is a recipe where I could try to finish up my little bottle of Marmite.. 🙂

Marmite Chicken 2

I find it really yummy and Dolf found it good too. Marmite is an acquired taste; not everyone likes it as it has a strong smell and aftertaste.
This is surely a recipe for keeps for when I’ve Marmite in my pantry again. I would try it with pork or prawns next time.. 🙂
