Tandoori Style Chicken

Tandoori Style Chicken recipe

We had a whole Chicken with the ever present Yellow Sticker for £2.54 and thought we’d try something a bit different. We had everything in for the marinade apart from the Buttermilk, so this turned out to be a very low cost meal. Well two meals for two of us and bits for Smooh the cat actually.

Ingredients:-

1 Whole medium Chicken, cut into portions
1 Tsp ground Coriander
1 Tsp ground Cumin
1 Tsp ground Turmeric
1 Tsp ground Cayenne Pepper
1 Tbsp Garam Masala
1 Tbsp Paprika
330ml Buttermilk
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
4 minced Garlic cloves
2 Tbsp minced fresh Ginger
1 teaspoon Salt
½ a small tin of Tomato Puree
2 Tbsp Oil
DIY Garlic Butter

Method:-

(1) Mix all the marinade ingredients.
(2) If your Chicken is nor portioned, cut through the joints with a shart knife to take the legs and wings off. Now use kitchen scissors to cut the body along one side of the spine and the same side of the keel bone.
(3) In a large bowl stir the marinade around all the Chicken portions, making sure that every area is coated.
(4) Allow the marinade to do it’s thing in the fridge for at least an hour. We have a second batch which has been in the fridge over night.
(5) Foil a grill tray and put the rack over the top.
(6) Pre heat the oven to 180c
(7) Roast uncovered for 20 minutes.
(8) Remove from the over and glaze with the melted Garlic Butter.
(9) Return to the oven for a further 15 to 20 minutes, until the Chicken is well cooked.

We served ours on a bed of Rice with home made Naan Bread, Onion Bhaji, Whole grain Mustard Mayo and a Cabbage & green leaf Salad.

Air Fryer Brunch method

Clearly we didn’t go to the trouble of frying the Eggs or heating the Baked Beans in the Air Fryer. There’s not a lot of point trying to reinvent the wheel. But everything else was done in the Air Fryer.

Air fryer cooking is all about timing. Cook the items which need the longest time first, remove to rest and then reheat everything before serving.

So for this brunch, we went with something like this:-

Steps:-

(1) Take 4 frozen Potato Waffles from the freezer.
(2) Slice Cheese to cover the top.
(3) Cut Bacon (Home cured in our case) to cover the Waffles and cook in the Air Fryer.
(4) Remove the Bacon and allow to cool.
(5) Place the Sausages in the Air Fryer and cook until browned.
(6) Remove the Sausage and set aside.
(7) On the Waffles add the cooked Bacon and then the Cheese and a good dribble of Henderson’s Relish.
(8) Place these in the Air Fryer an cook until the Cheese has melted and bubbled.
(9) Fry your Eggs and heat your Baked Beans in the more conventional way!!!! (Remember the reinventing the wheel gig?!)
(10) In the salted Oil which has accumulated in the bottom tray fry a couple on slices of Bread. (Gluten free in our case).
(11) Add the Mushrooms to the same lower tray.
(12) When the Mushrooms are cooked return everything to the Air Fryer to heat.
(13) Serve with your fried Eggs and Beans.

This was a really tasty meal. The Waffles with Bacon and melted Cheese and Fried Bread were certainly the star of the show here…...
