drunken papaya chicken

May 30th, 2009

You might not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes drunken papaya chicken but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat drunken papaya chicken or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1800 calories a day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have just been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

I also believe it helps to have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Drunken Papaya Chicken

1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/3 cup dark rum
4 garlic cloves, pressed
2 teaspoons grated lime peel (with no white included)
2 teaspoons grated orange peel (with no white included)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 1/2 pounds chicken drumsticks and thighs,
    rinsed and patted dry
Salt and freshly-ground pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 papaya, peeled, seeded and diced

Combine lime and orange juices, rum, garlic, lime and orange zests, vinegar and sugar in a blender and process until smooth.

Prick the chicken all over with the tines of a fork and rub generously with salt and pepper. Place in a large bowl and toss with the lime-orange marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Place chicken in a large roasting pan, reserving the marinade. Brush the chicken with oil and bake for 15 minutes until it begins to brown.

Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 10 minutes.

Remove chicken from the oven and add papaya and reserved marinade. Return to the oven and bake, basting with the marinade until the chicken is falling off the bone, about 30 minutes.

Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed. Spoon the sauce and papaya over the chicken, then serve.
