This meal can be made with very little effort, and dressed up with a few cinnamon sticks, star anise and herb leaves, it will look amazing and appear as if you are dining in style. The recipe is easily adapted to feed many more. Simply add a chicken piece and more steamed rice per serving to the overall recipe. There is plenty of sauce to go the distance. Just as we have been gathering our Chicken Dinner recipes together to provide even more content for the Insider Club...this is one we missed. It is sooo good. Seriously simple. Enjoy.
(In Australia, the term Chicken Maryland refers simply to the butchers cut for a whole leg of the chicken including the thigh and drumstick and including the skin.)
