Oven/Pot roast chicken .

This oven chicken recipe of mine is a real hit with my family and friends , like my eldest son Sabeegh say's 'when mommy makes chicken in the oven I cant stop eating!' This is also quick easy and tasty like most chicken meals .This is usually made on a Monday for supper , especially if we had spicy foods or breyani the for sunday lunch. Or i cook this when I have people over and I am running out of time ( or ideas !) .I usually have sweet yellow rice , a toss salad and steamed veggies with this , if I dont have veggies or salad , then bring on the sweetcorn or whole kernels please !Enjoy..........



Ingredients:



Chicken ( preferably not frozen )

2 tsp portuguese spice ( spice mecca )

2 tsp chicken masala ( spice mecca)

2 tsp chicken spice (spice mecca)

salt to taste

1 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup tomato sauce

garlic and ginger mix ( rub in with hands )

Soya sauce



Marinate the above ingredients into the chicken and let it stand for atleast an hour . Place into pyrex or oven tray and drizzle with olive oil . But if this is a last minute thing then marinate and bake in a heated oven ( 200 c) , when placing chicken into the oven reduce temperature after 10 minutes to 180 c , and let it bake for about 45 minutes . You may add potatoes ( cut into wedges and placed in microwave for 7 minutes on high ) , and sprinkled with salt , ppepper and portuguese spice , add to chicken before placing it into the oven .If you gona pot roast this first heat pot with olive oil until oil sizzles , place chicken in pot and reduce to medium heat , add potatoes when you,ve browned it first for about 7 minutes , not necessary to put potatoes into microwave when pot roasting .



I usually bake this an hour before supper is served so its still nice and hot when dishing . This dish is really juicy and tangy mmmmm...............
