Notes

Expert Tips
• This recipe uses skinless chicken breasts, but the Gunpowder Pickle can also be used to top chicken thighs, drumsticks or breasts still with the skin on. Adjust cooking times according to the cuts selected
• Check the chicken is cooked through using a digital food thermometer. It should register 74C (165F) for breast meat and around 80C (175F) for darker meat such as thighs and drumsticks
• Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for several days – just allow to cool completely then cover and chill
