Lemon & turmeric chicken

Lemon & turmeric chicken

This is no ordinary traybake. The marinade has a warm, earthy tartness, and there’s sweetness from honey and pops of briny flavour from the capers.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 tbsp Willy’s Organic Live Apple Cider Vinegar with Turmeric & Black Pepper
  • 4 clove/s garlic, crushed or finely grated
  • 1 tbsp clear honey
  • 3 sprig/s rosemary, leaves chopped
  • 2 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Nonpareille Capers, drained
  • 4 Essential British Slower Reared Chicken Legs
  • 750g pack new potatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp Essential Sultanas
  • ½ unwaxed lemon, sliced
  • 350g asparagus, ends trimmed

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 tbsp oil, the vinegar, garlic, honey, rosemary and capers. Cut the chicken legs through the joint so you have 4 drumsticks and 4 thighs, then add to the bowl. Season and toss everything together, ensuring the chicken is well-coated. Cover, then marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or up to 12 hours).

  2. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Toss the potatoes with the remaining oil, then spread out in a large roasting tin. Season and roast for 10 minutes.

  3. Stir, then add the chicken to the tin, skin-side up, with any excess marinade. Spread out again, then roast for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, soak the sultanas in enough hot water to cover.

  4. Remove the tin from the oven. Add the lemon, baste the chicken and potatoes in the pan juices, then stir through the sultanas and soaking water. Roast for 20 minutes more, then scatter the asparagus over the chicken and potatoes and baste again. Roast for a final 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear and there is no pink meat. Leave to rest for 5 minutes, then serve.

Cook’s tip

The apple cider vinegar will balance sweetness and add a gentle warmth to dressings, dips or marinades. Or try adding a splash to a glass of sparkling water for a refreshing summer spritz.
