Masala Roast Chicken

Masala Roast Chicken recipe, eat well on universal credit

Even with a yellow sticker a very small Chicken is now more expensive than a medium Chicken was last year. But let’s not get into a rant about food prices. A Chicken for less than £3 seems to be a bit of a win at the moment….

Ingredients:-

1 Whole Chicken
1 Tbsp of Chilli Powder
1 Tbsp of fresh Ginger, minced to a paste
1 Tbsp of Garlic, minced to a paste
1 Tsp of Cumin
1 Tbsp of Spirit Vinegar
50g of Olive based Margarine, melted
3 Potatoes, quartered
2 Tbsp of Honey
2 Red Onions, quartered
1 Lemon, half sliced, the remainder as is
2 Bulbs of Garlic, with the paper removed
Salt & Pepper to taste

Method:-

(1) Combine the Chilli Powder, Ginger, Garlic paste, Cumin, Vinegar, Honey, Melted Margarine , Salt & Pepper in a bowl.
(2) Cover the Chicken with this marinade both over and under the skin.
(3) Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
(4) Arrange the Potatoes, Onions and Garlic Cloves in an oven proof tray.
(5) Lay the Lemon sliced on top.
(6) Place the Chicken over this.
(7) Insert the remaining half of the Lemon in the cavity and truss the legs with string.
(8) Place in a pre-heated oven at 180c and baste with the marinade half way cooking.
(9) Cool until the juices run clear, depending on the size of your Chicken.

White Loaf - Instructions printing error

We followed the instruction on the Freee White Bread Flour package. We should have followed our instincts as we both thought at the time it was a bit odd using cold water. The loaf is OK but it would have risen much better if the water had been warm initially to activate the Yeast quicker.

Ingredients as they list them:-

2 Egg Whites
2 Tbsp of Sugar
1 Tsp of Salt
6 Tbsp of Oil
1 Tsp of Vinegar
425ml of Water (Should say warm!)
500g Free White Bread Flour
2 Tsp of Quick Yeast
Oil of the Tin

We've just sliced this and although we expected it to be dissapointingly heavy, it's actually a passable loaf. But warm water would have greatly improved the rise and we'd then probably have been doing a little happy dance in the kitchen!
