Útmutatók

Mix Marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken, cover and marinate 12 to 24 hours (Note 5)

Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line a tray with foil and place a rack on the tray.

Remove chicken from the Marinade, shaking off excess (reserve Marinade), and place on the rack. Bake for 20 minutes, then slather Marinade generously on both sides.

Bake for a further 10 minutes, brush/dab top with Marinade.

Bake further 10 minutes, do a final baste with Marinade then spray with oil.

Increase heat to 220C/450F. Bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes until you get some nice charred spots. Serve with Minted Yogurt and Saffron Rice (below) or plain Basmati Rice.

Minted Yoghurt:

Combine ingredients in a food processor and blitz until mint is very finely chopped.

BBQ Option:

Preheat BBQ with closed lid to medium, brush grills lightly with oil. Place bone-in skin-on chicken skin side down on grills, cook 5 min until surface is just caramelised - no more.

Baste, then flip. Baste, then close lid. Cook for 20 minutes or until internal temperature is 175F/80C (bone in thighs and drumsticks), basting once or twice more.
