Recipe


Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg chicken
  • Indian-Infused Marinade
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tsp finely grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 2 tsp Himalayan salt
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp brown rice flour
  • ½ onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves
  • 1–2 tbsp warm filtered water
  • To Serve (optional)
  • 4 handfuls baby spinach
  • ½ cup pine nuts
  • ½ pomegranate, seeds removed

Method


  • To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients with sufficient warm water to make a paste of spreading consistency.
  • Rub the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is completely covered. Place in a roasting tin, cover with foil and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hr but preferably overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Remove the foil and roast the chicken for 60–75 mins, or until the juices run clear when the flesh is pierced with a skewer. If the chicken starts to brown too much during cooking, cover with fresh foil. Rest for 10–15 mins before serving.
  • Serve warm with a baby spinach, pine nut and pomegranate salad. The chicken will be very moist and tender and won’t be spicy-hot.
