Here, the bright and zesty flavors of lemon, tomato, ginger, jalapeño and garlic contrast beautifully with the rich, tender dark meat of the chicken. If you like your chicken skin extra crispy, slip it under the broiler for a few minutes after roasting. And yes, you can make this with chicken breasts, but we recommend the skin-on, bone-in variety, and keep a close eye on the time; they'll take less time to cook.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 chicken thighs, with skin, pierced all over with a small knife
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded, or cayenne to taste
Juice and zest of 1 whole lemon
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon coriander seeds or ground coriander

Steps:

  • Put chicken thighs in a bowl. Mince garlic, ginger and pepper. Toss with all remaining ingredients or put in a small food processor, and grind to a paste. (It is O.K. if the coriander seeds are not fully pulverized. They will add a little crunch.)
  • Rub mixture thoroughly into chicken. At this point, you can cover, and refrigerate for up to a day.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put thighs, skin side up, in a roasting pan. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes or until done.
