Soy-and-sesame-coated Chicken with Coconut Rice 

Ease into the week with a no‑fuss, flavour‑packed dinner. Simply pop the soy‑and‑sesame chicken into the air fryer at 180°C for 7 minutes, then warm the rice for just 3 minutes until fluffy. Serve the tender, glossy chicken alongside the rice for a comforting bowl that tastes like your favourite takeaway - but easier. And because every great meal deserves a little treat, finish with Woolworths mochi: soft, chewy, ice‑cream‑filled bliss.

Bobotie with a Crumbed Butternut Salad

Craving a midweek classic? Woolies makes it wonderfully simple. Heat the bobotie and fragrant rice in the microwave, following the instructions on the pack. Meanwhile, air fry the crumbed butternut balls for 6-8 minutes at 180°C until crunchy and golden. Toss the slaw in the bold sriracha‑and‑sesame dressing for a pop of freshness and heat. Plate up the bobotie with rice, crisp butternut and crunchy slaw on the side - it’s homestyle comfort elevated, the Woolies way.

Hot-Honey Fried Chicken with Chips

Tonight calls for something bold and satisfying. Drizzle chilli‑infused honey over Woolies fried chicken portions, then air fry them with the chips at 180°C for 13-15 minutes until hot, crisp and sticky.  Serve the golden chicken with the chunky chips and an extra drizzle of hot honey for dipping - a sweet‑meets‑spicy midweek treat that feels like pure indulgence.

 

Korean-style Meatballs

Bring a little Asian‑inspired flair to Thursday night. Warm the Korean‑style meatballs and noodles according to the package directions, then spoon the glossy, flavour‑packed meatballs over the steaming noodles. Dish into bowls for a quick but exciting dinner that delivers on comfort and craveability. And for the perfect finishing touch? Soft, pillowy bao buns - a simple addition that turns the whole meal into a complete Asian‑inspired feast.

Lamb tails on the Braai

Some nights call for perfect balance - a little savoury, a little fresh and a little sweet. Fire up the braai and place the lamb tails on a grid over medium coals, cooking for 15-20 minutes and turning occasionally until beautifully caramelised. Add the ciabatta and halved lemons to the grid and grill for 10 minutes, letting the bread crisp up and the lemons char to smoky perfection. Serve the lamb tails with the warm ciabatta, grilled lemons and a bright Rosa tomato salad for a fresh pop of colour and acidity. And to finish? Simply remove the mini koeksisters from their packaging and enjoy them at room temperature - the ideal sweet ending to a relaxed Friday braai.
