1 tbsp olive oil
14g

120g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
1 tsp dried coriander
5g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 tsp chili powder
5g
1 tsp turmeric powder
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan or a large baking dish.
3. Prepare the Spice Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, chili powder, and turmeric powder. Mix well until it forms a paste.
4. Season the Chicken:
- Rub the olive oil all over the chicken, ensuring it's coated evenly.
- Take the prepared spice mixture and rub it thoroughly all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity for maximum flavor.
5. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Cut the potatoes into chunks and place them around the chicken in the roasting pan.
- Add the chopped red hot chili peppers and mix them with the potatoes.
6. Roast the Chicken:
- Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven.
- Roast the chicken and vegetables for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender.
- Occasionally baste the chicken with the pan juices to keep it moist.
7. Prepare the Peas:
- About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, add the peas to the roasting pan, stirring them into the juices and allowing them to heat through.
8. Rest the Chicken:
- Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven.
- Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
9. Serve:
- Carve the chicken and serve with the roasted potatoes and peas.
- Enjoy your delicious Indian-spiced roast chicken!

Tips:

- Marinate the chicken for at least an hour (or overnight, if possible) to allow the spices to fully penetrate the meat.

- Ensure the chicken is patted dry before applying the spice mixture for a crispy skin.

- Rotate the chicken halfway through roasting for even cooking and browning.

- Baste the chicken occasionally to keep it moist and enhance the flavor.

- Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

- Let the chicken rest for at least 10 minutes after roasting before carving to retain its juices.

Your Indian-spiced roast chicken is now ready to be served! With its tender, juicy meat and a perfect blend of spices, this dish is a feast for the senses. Serve it hot, garnished with fresh coriander, alongside roasted potatoes and peas. Enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite and savor the warmth and richness of this delightful dish.
