- Blitz the marinade ingredients then pour a quarter in a vacuum bag with the chicken and mix up.
Scott has a chamber vacuum sealer so used the marinade function but this will also work perfectly well leaving the chicken to marinade for a couple of hours in the fridge, or even better overnight. Before cooking. You can still pop everything into the bag and vacuum seal. If you have a external vacuum sealer a tip for liquids is to use two bags. Put the marinade and chicken into a bag and seal only. Then place this into another bag and vacuum seal. - Preheat your sous vide device to 68c and cook for 3 hours
- At some point whilst the chicken is cooking you can make the side of rice and kidney beans. Simply cook together until soft and season with salt and pepper
- Once cooked, take the chicken out of the bag and discard the liquid content. At this point you can either chill for later or go straight to finishing.
- Baste each piece in the remaining marinade and cook on a BBQ turning and basting allowing the skin to catch and caramelise.
