What a lovely chicken potjie bacon gives it that smokey taste
Awesome Recipe, added 2 onions and increased quantities to fill a #4 potjie pot. Turned out amazing.
Thanks for the feedback Hilton, it is a a great pot. 🙂
Added baby onions. By mistake I put in chili beef stock. Gave it a twist. Now I only use the chili beef stock. It is delicious
This is definitely something I will try now. Think it would be fantastic.
What a fantastic recipe! I made a few adjustments…
Added 1.5 large onioins, sliced and 2 leeks, to go in with the bacon.
Added fresh veggies instead of frozen.
Mixed a brown onion soup packet with 500ml coconut cream (no oxtail soup in the UK!)
Used a tin of chicken and mushroom soup to go with the onion soup.
PERFECT… definitely the best chicken potjie I’ve ever tasted!
It was fantastic!! Thanks, it is our new favourite chicken recipe.
Looks great. I’ll be using onions though.
Definitely how I’d do it. Apricots was the substitute for the onions. But both ways are yum. Enjoy.
Looks awesome man can’t wait to give it a crack
