GF CHICKEN RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
  2. To make the rub, bash all of the ingredients in a pestle and mortar until fine. Massage the rub all over the chicken, then place into a low-sided roasting tray. Place in the hot oven for around 1 hour, or until cooked through.
  3. To make the BBQ sauce, place all of the ingredients into a medium saucepan over a high heat. Whisk well to combine, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it's sticky and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and reduce the temperature to 110°C/225°F/gas ¼.
  5. Take a piece of chicken and dunk it into the BBQ sauce. Using a slotted spoon, remove to a wire baking rack placed over a roasting tray (this will help the smoke to permeate the chicken as it cooks).
  6. Return to the middle shelf of the oven for around 10 minutes, or until turning lovely and sticky.
  7. Place the wood chips into an old wire sieve (the sieve will help the smoke to distribute evenly around the oven) and carefully light with a match or over a gas hob. Place the sieve into another roasting tray and pop in the bottom of the oven – this will add an incredible dimension of smokiness to the chicken.
  8. After around 10 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and dip each piece into the BBQ sauce once more. Return it to the oven for a further 10 minutes, or until sticky, glazed and delicious. Serve with sliced chilli scattered on top.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5, and find a snug-fitting pot for the chicken.
  2. Season the chicken generously with sea salt and black pepper, and fry it in the butter and a little oil, turning regularly to get an even colour all over.
  3. Remove from the heat, put the chicken on a plate, and throw away the oil and butter left in the pot. This will leave you with tasty sticky goodness at the bottom of the pan which will give you a lovely caramelly flavour later on.
  4. Put the chicken back in the pot with the rest of the ingredients (speed-peel the lemon zest and leave the garlic cloves unpeeled), and cook in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes, basting with the cooking juice when you remember. The lemon zest will sort of split the milk, making a sauce which is absolutely fantastic.
  5. To serve, pull the meat off the bones and divide between plates. Spoon over plenty of juice and the little curds. Delicious served with wilted spinach or greens and some mashed potato.
