Whole Roasted Tandoori chicken
Wednesday, January 4, 2017
After a short break from blogging over the festive season, I am delighted to bring you my first post of 2017- my recipe for blackened Tandoori Chicken. I have been working on this recipe for a while so sincere thanks to everyone who acted as samplers along the way. The end result is a moist, delicious and spicy roast chicken!
I love spicy food and experimenting with flavours. My go to favourite dish is Chicken Curry which I make all the time but am getting a bit bored with. I was keen to try something a bit different and create a spicy version of a Roast Chicken dinner. I have varied the quantities each time I have tried this and I am now happy that I have got it right though of course you can change the quantities to suit yourselves. The key to the dish is slitting the skin of the chicken to really rub the marinade on the flesh. Also, allow it to marinate for as long as possible. I leave it overnight to let it really absorb
I urge you to give this a go- it really is delicious and has been very popular every time I have served it. It’s my new favourite roast!
Serve with Chana Masala (recipe here), Bombay Potatoes (recipe here) a lovely salad, raita and mango chutney!
