Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan or a large baking dish.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Carve the chicken and serve with the roasted potatoes and peas.
- Enjoy your delicious 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.
