I combined two spice rubs and voilà! Another great marinade for chicken!
Gg’s Spicy Roast Chicken Recipe:
(serves 2)
Ingredients
- 2 whole chicken breasts on the bone
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons Turkish Chicken Spice Rub
- 2 tablespoons Gg’s Blackening Rub
- juice of half a lime
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
Directions
- Throw all ingredients into a zip lock bag or airtight container big enough for chicken and mix. Taste for seasoning and adjust to your liking.
- Add chicken to the marinade. Coat chicken well marinade. Leave in the fridge to marinate overnight or up to a week. Turn chicken occasionally.
Cooking
- Take chicken out of the fridge, transfer to a roasting tray. Arrange the chicken so it is laid flat with the meat and skin side facing up. Place on the lowest rack in the oven.
- Set the oven to the conventional cooking setting (
) at 200 degrees Celsius. This allows the chicken to warm up and the skin to dry while the oven is heating up at the same time. Dry skin = crispy skin. - Once the oven is properly heated, start timer to roast chicken for 30-45 minutes. Your nose is your best indicator of whether food is cooked. Once you can smell delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen, your food is more or less cooked.
- When chicken has turned slightly golden brown, switch the oven to the fan assisted grilling setting (
) and turn the heat up to 250 degree Celsius. This renders the fat and crisps the skin. About 8 to 15 minutes. - Turn off oven and remove chicken from the oven. Allow chicken to rest 10 to 15 minutes.
