Happy 4th of July!! #No18

Today, across the pond they celebrate their day of independence. Today, also my dear friends, Tom and Emily (the owners of Clippo the snake) welcomed their son into the world. Baby Ethan was born ( his own Independence Day!) 

Now I had already planned an all- American BBQ to celebrate the 4th of July, so we had something more special and exciting to celebrate! 

Here are the recipes for BBQ chicken and rocky roads, two classic American dishes! 

Rocky roads Ingredients:

1) Boil water in a pan and melt the chocolate in a boil over it. Add a knob of butter and two tbsp of golden syrup. 

2)Melt slowly. Then add the broken rich tea biscuits and chopped marshmallows. 

3) Mix together and spoon into a grease proof paper lined tray. 

4) Sprinkle with stars and place in the fridge to harden for a few hours. Enjoy!

BBQ chicken Ingredients:

1) Crush one clove of garlic.

2) Add 1 level tbsp of cornflour and 2 tbsp of caster sugar.

3) Add 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 4 tbsp of ketchup, 1 tbsp of Worcester sauce, 2 tbsp of wine vinegar. Add a dash or so of water.

4) Mix together. 

5) Smother the chicken in sauce. 

6) Cook in the oven for 35-40 mins.

7) Enjoy!! 

A celebratory BBQ! :-)
