Sounds fab - will have to try this.

You have to skin the Chicken or it doesn't work, the upside is my Cats had fried Chicken skin as a treat this morning.

My recipe,

• Skin the Chicken and make 5-6 cuts across the breast each side and 3-4 on the thighs
• Mix 2 tablespoons of 'Tandoori Massala' with some Yoghurt, chopped Ginger and crushed Garlic in a bowl
• Stick the Chicken into the bowl and ensure the marinade is worked into the cuts and leave for 6 hrs or so.
• Oven on 'full' and it takes about 50 mins (depending how big the chicken is)

Cut and pasted into word and saved. Will give this a go.

My Pad Thai was good - loads left for lunches too....

Just so happens there is a chicken in the fridge now and I only need the Tandoori Massala spices (might have some) and Yoghurt....

We have sunshine at the moment but there is a huge bank of storm clouds to the South, not so much to the North .

I forgot to list a bit of Salt in the Marinade, not much, 1/2 a teaspoon or so,

here's how mine came out,

EDIT - the photos are a bit crap but the Chicken was lush.

I do something very similar, but prefer to leave the skin on - the fat under the skin keeps the meat tender, and then there's the spicy, crispy skin...

If you want the bird to cook quickly, then spatchcock it (cut out the backbone and flatten) and then you don't need such an insane temperature, but this is equally good cooked long and slow as well.

Works equally well with guinea fowl as well as chicken. I'll also do this with thighs and wings.

My marinade is natural yoghurt (el-cheapo works fine - about half a tub), salt, pepper, about half a bulb of garlic, a thumb-sized chunk of ginger, half a finely chopped onion, several whole cardamoms (lightly bashed to split the pod), some shards of cassia bark, a good garam massala, paprika and chilli to taste.

Sounds good, my recipe is to emulate a restaurant 'Tandoori Chicken' though.

Fair enough.

My elderly oven doesn't crank up to "insane" heat levels.

Loaves and fish?

I've just had a 10p steak pie.

Went stickering tonight, you see... Best buy was a job lot of salmon fillets off the counter. I think we'll be having fish here chez Casa Reynard.

 

[Reynard]

A nice and a portion of snaccidents (3 custard creams) and then it's bed time methinks.

Just how many packets of custard creams "threw themselves" into your shopping?

We're having a Fish Pie today, Salmon, Cod. Smoked Haddock and Smoked Mackerel, I lightly grill the Fish so that it will flake into the dish then cover it in Parsley sauce (fresh Parsley from the garden) and top it with mashed spuds with a bit of cheese grated over that.
