Description

A lovely, spicy and tangy chicken. I prefer bone-in, skin-on chicken for this recipe. If you are on a diet and using boneless and skinless chicken breasts, this might be OK but I find it dries out a bit. Plus, skin-on and bone-in gives it more flavour.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 2 teaspoons Chili Flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • ½ teaspoons Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice (or More, To Taste)
  • 500 kilograms Bone-in, Skin-on Chicken Pieces (thigh Or Drumstick Preferred)

Preparation

Note the recipe also requires a minimum of 2 hours marinating time.

In a small bowl combine all ingredients except the chicken then pour it over the chicken in an oven proof dish. Refrigerate and allow it to marinate for a few hours. As with marinating, longer is better (overnight is good) but a couple of hours is also fine and dandy.

Preheat oven to 200 C. Then just bake at 200 C for about 40 minutes.

This is super yum and very spicy and tangy. Serve with some baked potatoes and/or a nice green veg. My food photography leaves a bit to be desired but I will get better!
