Cardamom Chicken with Salt and Pepper Crust image

Don't be turned off by the idea of 'just' salt and pepper. The marinade is intense with flavor, but it's the final seasoning of simple salt and pepper that really makes it delicious. Gotta use Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper here, please don't bother with the regular stuff. Such a difference.

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have any cardamom. Do you think I could substitute another spice?

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked.

The chicken was a little dry, but the flavor was good.

This chicken was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less cardamom next time.

I wasn't sure how the cardamom and salt and pepper crust would go together, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors complemented each other perfectly.

This cardamom chicken was a hit with my family! The salt and pepper crust was crispy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy and tender. I will definitely be making this again.
