My Favourite Chicken Recipes
I have made this chicken several times but I’ve never taken photos. I need to use this recipe today evening so I will post it anyway, without any photos. One day photos will follow. Have a lovely week!
P/S I managed to take some photos last night. They are not so great but they will do for now. And by the way you can use left over marinade to make Tandoori Chicken Sandwich.
Spread the tandoori marinade over the chicken legs on both sides and into the slits.
Cover with a cling film and leave to marinate for 6-8 hours or overnight in the fridge.
Place the marinated chicken legs in an oiled anodized double grill and cook in middle rack in the oven for 15 minutes.
Add the potatoes to the double grill with chicken and continue cooking for a further 15 minutes. Flip the potatoes, baste the chicken and add the yellow or red bell pepper and cook for further 15 minutes.
Serve.

Now I know! Thank you so much for this, i love Indian cooking, so much flavour and scent. I will for sure be trying this one..off to see what the day will bring, I’m hoping for sunshine! It is definitely cool this morning. Arguing with myself, should I put snow tires on or leave the all seasons…….
That post is incomplete but I want to find it without logging in. I hope I shall take photos soon. I have a busy evening coming by so I may not even take photos tonight. We had some fog in the morning but now it’s sunny and nice. We are at 21C can you believe it. I love it, love it, love it!!!!
