Ingredients
Marinade
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 & 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 & 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 & 1/2 lemons, juiced
- 4 tbsp oil
- 2 tsp garlic, chopped finely
- 1.4 tsp salt
Chicken
- 1 kg chicken thighs and drumsticks, skin on
Method
Marinating the chicken
- 1)
In a large bowl mix the oregano, coriander, cumin, salt and garlic with the lemon juice and oil
- 2)
Add the chicken to the marinade and mix well making sure that all sides are coated
- 3)
Put to one side for 10 minutes. This step will make sure that the chicken soaks up all the flavours
Cooking
- 1)
Whilst the chicken is marinating, pre heat the oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan)
- 2)
Once the chicken has had a full 10 minutes marinating, place each piece of chicken in a single layer on a baking tray
- 3)
Place in the oven for 50 minutes in total, baste the chicken after 30 minutes cooking time. Ensure the cooking juices run clear after the total cooking time
- 4)
This is a great meal with delicious, fluffy roast potatoes. If you’re making the roasties fresh, place white potatoes diced in to 8ths on a separate baking tray with a drizzle of oil and salt and place in the oven at the same time as chicken
- 5)
Serve the chicken and potatoes with flatbreads and salad
