Oh yes please. That's a beautifully fresh light dinner. Cheers Rick.
Always love a bit of garlic smashing hehe
Mmm oh yes ❤
I prefer chicken thighs, and maybe some soy sauce, and some baby sweetcorn and mange tout or french beans for crunch. But a good idea for a quick meal.
Great recipe
This looks amazing! ❤. I so enjoy watching you have your taste at the end.
Very yummy looking meal ❤👍
Like deployed 👍
Yummy! Near the top of my saved list of all you saved recipes. Thank you Rik. Can’t wait to try this one! 💕
Looks great Rik, nice quick tasty dish – would love some of that right now!😋 Hope you enjoyed!☺️ Thanks as always. 👨🏼🍳👌👍😋
You told me the other day that we all have different cultures and that's why our cusines differ, but the Chinese have a much more different culture than us Basques and yet, with minor differences, they cook much like we do (at least in your videos): lots of garlic and veggies (peppers are also very popular over here) with the meat. I myself cook more or less that way… just that somewhat less pretty and with olive oli instead of sesame.
LOVELY !!!!!
Nice 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🙏🏿
Nice with salt and pepper chips rik
I just noticed that you've crossed the 200k subscriber mark well done mate! Now thank you for another midweek meal recipe
Such vibrant colors on all the veg. They all look so fresh and nutritious.
200k subscribers Chef. Congratulations! Keep it up!!!
You forgot the mushrooms! ( Kidding) I went to the grocery store last wk and forgot mushrooms and onions. What an idiot. Been living in 1/2 an onion for a week ( grumble mutter).
So easy to make
THIS REALLY LOOKS DIVINE, 🌶️🫑🧅🍗🍗🍗🫑🫑😋
THANK YOU CHEF RIK FOR A COLOUR FULL DISH❤❤
Hey Rick. I no longer hear about, or see you using the HYSapientia oven. I was looking to buy one. The only available is in the UK (wrong voltage). Do you no longer endorse this product? Did they develop any problem?
wonderful Rik, Thank you for sharing.
Oh, how delicious does that look, the colours are just….. Must have…. Must eat….. Must make!!!
I prefer drum sticks to chicken breast. Lovely veg and herbs. Delicious. I'll be making this next week, I think. Yum.
Where's the salt and pepper?…no matter…I would eat this 🙂
Looks very yummy.
Very nice Chef cheers
Another winner 🎉
That´s great Thanks very much.
stomach rumbles 😋. now i need to find the salt and pepper vid 🤤
Yummy, another one for the bookmarks to prepare at a later date. 😋Would do fine for a low carb diet as well, I think. Thank you Rick.
Lovely Rik, thank you.😊
The last time I baked chicken drumsticks, they came out with an odd mushy texture. I usually stick with thighs.
Heartfelt congratulations on 200k subscribers Rik…very well deserved in my opinion 👍👍
