An easy and delicious twist to classic roast chicken

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 chicken breasts
half a lemon
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp dark soy sauce

Steps:

  • Put 2 chicken breasts, skin side up in a small baking dish and season.
  • Squeeze the lemon into a bowl and stir in the honey and soy sauce. Spoon the mixture over the chicken, then tuck the squeezed-out half of lemon between the pieces (this will moisten and add flavour to the chicken).
  • Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). Cook until done and richly glazed, basting with the juices at least twice. To check if they are done, prod the chicken with your finger - if it's still a bit soft, give it a bit longer.
  • Serve with salad and potatoes roasted with herbs and garlic.

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons cayenne powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3 cups buttermilk
peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
honey, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, and cayenne and mix until combined. In a another medium bowl, combine half of the spice mix with the flour, mixing until the spices are evenly distributed.
  • Add the chicken to a large bowl and sprinkle with the remaining spice blend. Mix until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
  • Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and stir until the residual spices from the chicken have blended in with the buttermilk to create a light orange color. Marinate the chicken in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Heat the oil to about 325°F (160°C) in a large cast-iron skillet.
  • Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them back into the buttermilk mixture, then back into the flour. Make sure to shake off excess flour or it'll burn while frying.
  • Fry 3-4 chicken pieces at a time, occasionally turning them over. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown, crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Rest the cooked chicken pieces on a wire rack to let excess oil drain off.
  • Drizzle the chicken with honey, then serve.
  • Enjoy!
