Provided by Ben O'Donoghue

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 garlic cloves , peeled finely
grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp Kashmiri spice mix, or good-quality curry powder
1 dried bird's-eye chilli , seeded and crushed, or a pinch of chilli flakes
3 tbsp olive oil
12 chicken thighs , bone in, skin on
2 large bunches each rosemary and thyme
2 branches fresh bay leaves

Steps:

  • Make the marinade. Smash the garlic with a little salt using a pestle and mortar. Add the lemon zest and juice, the spice mix, chilli, oil and a good grinding of black pepper. Mix to a paste. This can be done in a mini food processor.

Close the lid, if your barbecue has one, and cook the chicken on the smouldering herbs for about 10 minutes until the meat starts to colour. Turn the chicken and continue to cook for a further 20-30 minutes, turning as necessary, until it is slightly charred from the burnt herbs and cooked through to the bone.

Tips:

  • Use a spice rub for added flavor: Prepare a blend of spices like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, thyme, and black pepper. Rub it all over the chicken pieces before cooking to infuse them with a delicious taste.
  • Choose the right cooking method: This recipe works well with grilling, baking, or pan-frying. If grilling, use a medium-high heat and cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. If pan-frying, heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until browned on all sides.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan or grill: Make sure there's enough space between the chicken pieces so they cook evenly and don't steam.
  • Use a meat thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This versatile BBQ Spice Island Chicken can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It's a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a backyard barbecue or a weeknight dinner. Serve it with your favorite sides like grilled vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal. The spice rub gives the chicken a delicious and flavorful crust, while the tender and juicy meat inside is sure to satisfy everyone at the table. So fire up the grill or preheat the oven and give this recipe a try - you won't be disappointed!
