Use half the pack of Maggi® Seasoning – as using the whole pack for this quantity will be too strong. Follow the instructions on pack adding half the seasoning to the bag with the vegetarian pieces
Add 150ml (¼pt) water (vegetarian products do not contain as much water as meat and the product may be dry if you do not do this)
Seal the bag as normal. Do not pierce any holes in the bag. Cook in a preheated oven (do not exceed temperatures given on pack). Cook for 30 minutes. Ensure that the product is piping hot throughout

It is possible to do half the pack, however results may vary and the bag can only be used once - use half the seasoning mix, follow the instructions on pack and adjust the cooking times to those given below.
2 chicken breasts 30-35 minutes
4 chicken drumstick 35-40 minutes

Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and piping hot throughout and juices run clear before serving.
