Marinating chicken and then cornflour
18 Answers
Ive marinaded some chicken pieces in madras paste, garlic, tomato puree, 3 tbs soy, 3tbs malt vinegar, 3tbs lemon juice, mixed herbs, bbq sauce, a little cumin powder, cinnamon and nutmeg and will leave it in the fridge for an hour or more, im just wondering should i dust the chicken pieces in cornflour or dip into cornflour/water mixture? Ive never used cornflour before and seen it on that new chinese cookery show ann the girl says it locks in the flavour, should i use the cornflour, or just fry the chicken as it is? What exactly will cornflour bring extra to the flavour or consistency?

Anyways stewey i usually do 24 hours but decided at the last minute to cook, the hour will infuse the flavours and the soy/lemon juice/vinegar acids will chemically cook the meat further driving the flavours in i like to think.
Champipple no yogurt im afraid!
Or no tinned toms mike!
So will i wreck the meal by adding the cornflour?

I personally wouldn`t use cornflour in a marinade (not one with some Indian style sauces anyway). I might use it to thicken a sauce but not a marinade. I`d fry it as it is.
By the way I was watching an Indian chef on This Morning a couple of days ago (Reza someone) and he was making lamb passandar. He said 40 mins marinade is enough.

Some information on the use of cornstarch ....it is also said to be a meat tenderiser in Chinese cooking,where it is most commonly used....but that does not mean it is LIMITED to that cuisine.
