Today we make whole roast herbed chicken, which you can make using an oven, charcoal grill or air fryer. I will be using an oven.
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
Salt to taste
70g tomato paste
Juice of 1 lime
Method:
Using a knife cut the chicken straight from the backbone and lay it flat on a baking tray. Mix the above ingredients and massage the marinade over the chicken.
Set aside for about an hour to allow the chicken to soak in the spices. Roast in an oven at 200C for 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and baste the gravy juices over the chicken so it does not dry out. Return to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes.
Serve with mashed potatoes or ugali. Enjoy!
