I can cook!

Hello, good to see you! I'm just getting ready for today's recipe.

It's going to be so delicious today. I can't wait!

And I hope that YOU will join in with the cooking too.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Ah-ha!

Come in!

-ALL: Hello, Katy!

-Hi, Lily.

Hey, Stanley. Hello, Liam. And hello, Katie.

Hi, Lauren. Thanks for coming, everyone. Do you want to know

-what delicious recipe we're making?

-ALL: Yes!

Well, today's recipe is...

garlic chicken! Can you smell it?

Ooh, yum-yum-yum! Before we start, there's something we have to do.

-Do you know what it is?

-ALL: Wash our hands!

# Roll up your sleeves Give your hands a wash with

# Slippy-dippy soap Splish splash splosh

# Have you done your hands? Washed and dried. Sleeves rolled up

# Apron tied

# What can you do? I can cook! #

Let's get started. The first thing we need to do

to make our garlic chicken is pop a pepper.

-Do you know how to pop a pepper?

-Uh...

-First of all,

-can you say "pop a pepper"? Ready?

-ALL: Pop a pepper.

Can you say "pop a pepper" over and over again really quickly? Ready?

ALL: Pop a pepper. Pop a pepper. Pop a pepper. Pop a pepper...

-Pfft!

-GIGGLING

So, to do this,

-to pop a pepper, we need to take our thumbs, like this... Yeah!

-Yeah!

..and we put them on the green part

in the middle of the pepper, pushing down really hard. One, two, three...

-POPPING

-Ooh!

Ooh, that's it, you've done it... You did it! Good job, Stanley.

High five! Well done.

Now, pull apart the pepper. So we put our thumbs inside

and we pull it apart. Ready?

Like...that.

And inside, there's lots of

little seeds, like little golden coins,

and we need to tap those out, like this. Tap-tap!

-Tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap...

-GIGGLING

-Have they gone?

-Nearly.

-Mine are on the sides.

-Mine has!

-Then,

we tear off one part of the pepper. So, one little section like that.

So, take that off and tear it. And tear this part

into bite-size pieces. And when you've done that,

we'll pop all the pieces into our dish.

Next, we'll add some cooked chicken

to our recipe. And we'll use scissors to do this,

to cut them into bite-size pieces. But remember, be safe with scissors,

-everyone knows - point them down towards your...

-..toes!

So, cut your chicken into bite-size pieces.

-How big is a bite-size piece?

-So...

-if it can fit in your mouth.

-So, is it this big?

-GIGGLING

-Is it that big?

So, we need a normal bite, about that big. So, let's start snipping.

Can everyone go...snippety-snip, snip-snip-snip? Who's got

good bite-size pieces? Can I see your pieces? Let's have a look.

Ooh, they're perfect! Has everyone cut up their chicken?

-ALL: Yeah.

-Stanley's got a bit more to do.

And we can start putting them into our dish with our pepper.

What is next? Well, let us see if YOU can guess what it could be.

Come on, I'll give you some clues.

Our special ingredient is sometimes muddy when we buy them.

So, could they be...

muddy wellies?! No, you can't eat those! Let's try again.

The special ingredient is sometimes muddy...

and it's rounded. So, could it be...

a muddy football?!

You can't eat a muddy football! Let's try one last time.

The special ingredient is sometimes muddy,

it's rounded,

and it's really delicious when it's boiled or roasted.

So it must be...

potatoes. Our special ingredient is potatoes.

We're going to need some potatoes for our garlic chicken.

Let's try and find some potatoes in the I Can Cook garden.

Come on, let's go!

And you can come too.

Welcome to the I Can Cook garden, everyone.

Where in the garden do you think we'll find potatoes?

In the greenhouse,

the ground, or on bushes?

-Under the ground!

-That's right.

You'll find potatoes in the ground.

We need to find the leaves of the potato plant

so we can find out where they are.

These are what the leaves look like. Look.

You can touch them if you want. Shall we go on a leaf hunt?

-ALL: Yes!

-Come on, let's go.

-Are those the same?

-No.

-No. That's really big, isn't it? Big one.

-Quickly!

-Look!

-Oh, we've got them! Brilliant. Let's see if they match.

-Are they the ones?

-They match!

-Yeah!

You've got to be very careful when you're doing this.

-It comes out with potatoes!

-We found the potatoes. Look.

-Yum.

Ooh, they're all knobbly.

You need to dig really, really deep underneath the ground.

Pull the plant. That's it.

-Let me see that one.

-Look at that one! It's all knobbly.

We've got one, two...

three, four, five...

Right. Now we've got our potatoes, let's go back to the kitchen.

We've washed our potatoes we dug up in the garden.

Shall we count them into our dish? OK, ready?

One... And you can join in.

ALL: Two...

Three...four!

And who can do a potato face? Go like this.

GIGGLING

Next we're going to add some red kidney beans,

and we're going to need two tablespoons of those.

This is a tablespoon. So...

we get one... Scoop!

ALL: Scoop!

Can you make that sound? Scoo-oo-oop!

And we get another spoonful. Scoop! And if you want,

you can use your fingers to hide them in the dish.

Run away, Mr Bean!

We've added the chicken to our garlic chickens,

-what do you think is next?

-Garlic.

-The garlic!

It wouldn't be garlic chicken without it.

Garlic is wrapped in paper. It's like a birthday present.

-Who likes birthday presents?

-ALL: Me!

We're going to add the garlic into our dish with the paper on,

but it's fine to eat - it's going to go lovely and soft

when we put it in the oven.

Squeeze it in. The next thing we're going to do

is add some flour and paprika to our dish.

Who can say paprika?

ALL: Paprika!

We'll take the paprika and sprinkle it in.

-Go, sprinkle, sprinkle!

-ALL: Sprinkle, sprinkle.

The last thing we need to do is add some stock.

Stock is just water with flavour added to it.

Then, to our stock, we need to add half a teaspoon of yeast extract.

You can gloop in the yeast extract, are you ready?

Can everyone make a gloopy sound?

Gloop!

It makes swirly patterns when you put it in the stock.

And then when you've added it, we need to give it a good mix.

Whizz!

My one's making a mess!

And you can do some stirring too. Get a mug and a little spoon

and you...mix, mix, mix, mix, mix!

That's it.

Everyone hold it up and have a look.

-Is everything mixed up?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Do you know what we need to do with this now.

-Yes. Tip it into there.

One, two, three, pour!

Ooh, lovely. What does your dish smell like now? Give it a smell.

Ooh, nice. Really nice.

It's nice, isn't it?

And the last thing we need to do is put the lid on.

And that's it! You've done it, everyone.

You put all the ingredients together

all by yourself.

Now it's time to put our garlic chicken in the oven to cook.

But, remember, ovens are hot so don't go near.

Ask a grown-up to help you here. Come on, everyone.

Milly, you can come first.

That's good. Open the oven.

While we wait for it to cook, there's one more thing for us to do.

Do you know what it is?

ALL: Wash up!

That's right, we've got to wash up.

-# Now we've cooked

-Let's wash up!

# Stack the plates and the bowls on top

# Dishes and spoons, splish, splash, splosh

# Having fun while we tidy and wash

-# Dishes and spoons

-Splish, splash, splosh

# Having fun while we tidy and wash. #

Can you remember some of the things that we've done today? We've...

Popped!

Snipped!

Poured!

-And?

-Measured.

Haven't we done a lot?

We just need to let our garlic chicken cool down.

Our food is nearly ready to eat, so let's lay the table and take a seat.

While I let the food cool down, why don't we play a guessing game?

What can you see? Keep on looking.

Say what you know what we used in our cooking.

They're red, they're a funny shape and they're all shiny.

Do you know what they are?

That's right, they're kidney beans,

which we used in our garlic chicken.

Did you guess? Well done.

And here it is, all ready to eat.

You've cooked your very own garlic chicken.

Right, are you ready, Liam?

There's yours! Oh, it's delicious!

Shall we have a drum roll, everyone?

Wow! Look at all the pepper, it's gone really bright yellow.

Drum roll, everyone.

Ohhh...

And there you go, Lily, that's delicious.

We've done the cooking, now let's do some eating.

Are you ready for some food, everyone?

-ALL: Yes.

-Let's dig in, then. Oh, yum, yum, yum!

Who can see their potatoes?

-Me.

-What's happened to them, now that they've cooked, in the middle?

-It's all soft.

-They've gone soft and squidgy in the middle, haven't they?

What can you do?

ALL: I can cook!

And remember that you can cook too.

If you'd like to have a go at today's recipe,

you can find it on our website:

-So, who would you cook this dish for?

-My nan.

-Oh, that's nice.

-For my whole family.

It's because it's so delicious! Well done, everyone.
