Ingredients
- 2.5 lb (1.2 kg) chicken pieces ((Note 1))
- 1 tbsp garlic powder OR 3 garlic cloves (, minced)
- 2 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tbsp paprika powder ((preferably smoked but plain is ok))
- 4 tbsp soy sauce ((Note 2))
- 2 tbsp lime juice (, fresh (1 lime))
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 g arlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 onion (, finely diced (white, brown, yellow))
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups long grain rice (, uncooked)
- 2 cups chicken broth / stock
- 1 cup water
- 2 - 4 tbsp butter ((Note 3))
- Salt and pepper
Steps
-
Place the Marinade ingredients in a small bowl and mix until lump free.
-
Place the chicken in a ziplock bag (my preferred method) or non reactive bowl and coat with Marinade. Marinade for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight (24 hours) OR freeze it straight away, then it will marinade while it defrosts.
-
Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Place chicken in a baking dish, skin side up. Slather leftover marinade onto the skin. Roast for 45 minutes or until deep burnt-red golden brown in colour.
-
Rest for 5 minutes before serving with Garlic Butter Rice and a green salad.
-
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook for 5 minutes until onion is translucent and sweet.
-
Add rice and stir so the rice becomes translucent. Add broth and water, then cover and turn heat down to medium low.
-
Cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the liquid has JUST evaporated, then remove from stove and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
-
After resting, add the butter and stir the rice to fluff it up and disperse the butter.
