My Mums Roast Chicken

 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!



My mum has many recipes for roast chicken, but this is one of her most simple and one of my favourites. Just marinade the chicken and leave overnight, and then roast and let the oven do the work, and you'll have amazing chicken.

A Simple List of Ingredients:

1. Yoghurt
2. Lemon Juice
3. Sunflower Oil
4. Tandoori Masala
5. Salt
6. Red Chilli Powder
7. Dried Fenugreek Leaves (Dried Methi)
8. Curry Powder
9. Chicken

Bismillah, let's start!

In a large bowl, place 3 tablespoons of natural yoghurt.

Add 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil.

And, two tablespoons of lemon juice.

Next, add 3 tablespoons of tandoori masala.

And, 1 tablespoon of salt.

And, 1 tablespoon of crushed red chillies.

And, 1 tablespoon of dried fenugreek leaves (dried methi).

And, 2 tablespoons of curry powder.

 Stir well to combine, and you have your marinade.

 Take 6 pieces of chicken, and mix well to coat. You can use any kind of chicken.

Marinade for a few hours, or for best results, overnight.

 Place in an ovenproof tray and cover with foil.

  Bake in a preheated oven at Gas Mark 6 for 1 hour. Then, uncover and drain out the juices. (Keep the juices because they make an excellent gravy or dipping sauce). Place back in the oven for a further 10 minutes.

Serve whilst hot and with my real mashed potatoes!
