Indian chicken

Hi everyone

I made this chicken recipe last night. Its a play on Pete Evans version. It was quite the hit with the husband and today I cut left over chicken and added to a kebab and it was delicious.  So I thought Id share the recipe

Ingredients

8-10 drumsticks or 6 thighs bone in
lemon juice and some coriander leaves for garnish

Marinade

2 Tablespoons olive oil
juice of a lemon
2 tablespoons grated ginger
4 garlic cloves finely diced
2 teaspoons ground tumeric
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons coriander
2 teaspoons garam masala

I mixed the spices with the oil and lemon to make a paste. If its still too dry add a bit more oil and juice till its wet enough to smear on the chicken with your fingers or a brush.  Cover the chicken with marinade until covered. I usually do it all in the dish Im going to cook it in. Use some non stick foil to on the bottom of the tray to save cleaning.

I left the chicken in the fridge for 2-3 hours but you could leave overnight.

Heat the oven to 180 degrees

Add a couple of tablespoons of water to the bottom of the dish and then place in the oven for 40 mins turning at last once. Once done transfer to a nice serving platter and squeeze some lemon juice one and scatter the coriander leaves over. Season too.

I served with an asian slaw
