[Poultry and Game]

1 x 1.35kg/3lb chicken, jointed into 8 pieces and skinned

4 cloves of garlic, crushed

290ml/½ pint plain low fat yoghurt

1 heaped teaspoon of the following: 

ground coriander

ground cumin

ground fenugreek

sweet paprika pepper

ground ginger

¼ teaspoon chilli powder

¼ teaspoon dry English mustard

TO SERVE

plain yoghurt

lemon wedges

  1. Cut a few slashes in the flesh of each chicken piece.

  2. Mix the garlic, yoghurt and spices together in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the spice mixture, mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight or for as long as possible.

  3. Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/ Gas mark 6. Put the chicken pieces on a rack in a roasting pan and bake for 1 hour. The chicken should get very brown but not burnt - it may be necessary to cover it with foil halfway through cooking in order to prevent it from burning.

  4. Serve with yoghurt and lemon wedges.

 

NOTE: This can also be made using strips of chicken breast they should be marinated in the spice mixture for 1 hour and then grilled for 10 minutes.
