SPICED ROAST CHICKEN
Serves :

Preparation Time :
Cooking Time :
Preparation Method :
- Put the garlic, ginger, chillies and cumin seeds in a food processor or blender with half of the yogurt, the turmeric, mint, mixed spice and salt.
- Blend until all the ingredients are finely ground and evenly mixed into the yogurt - the mixture will be quite runny.
- Slash the chicken skin through to the flesh with a sharp pointed knife, then truss with string.
- Put the bird into a large bowl and pour over the yogurt mixture.
- Cover and leave to marinate for at least 8 hours, turning the chicken from time to time.
- Put the chicken into an ovenproof dish into which it just fits. Place in a preheated oven for 2-2½ hours or until the juices run clear when the thickest part of a thigh is pierced with a fork.
- Baste frequently and spoon over the remaining yogurt halfway through the roasting time.
- Remove the bird from the oven, cover tightly with foil and set aside to rest. Keep the cooking juices hot. Discard the trussing string. Put the chicken on a warmed platter and pour over the cooking juices. Garnish the chicken with mint sprigs.
- Serve with basmati rice and a dish of curried vegetables.
