Just one more sleep before our big move; I can't begin to tell you how relieved I am with everything packed and the rain has finally stopped after raining non stop for a week. I haven't been cooking much but I did manage to find this dish that I cooked a while back. This is a very simple and delicious chicken dish that is also perfect for a summer bbq, that is if we are getting any nice sunny days at all. For those who are not very keen of dealing with a whole bird, chicken maryland will be a wonderful substitute.
P.S Internet at our new home will not be connected until the 28th but I will find way to post regularly. have a wonderful weekend and happy cooking.

oven preheated at 180 C
you'll need;
1 free range chicken, butterflied
pinch of saffron threads
1 tsp of sea salt

1/2 tsp of black pepper

To butterfly the chicken - cut of the back bones using a pair of kitchen scissors and flatten it breasts side up. Cut into 2 halves.
Finish off in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, rest chicken for 10 minutes before serving.
Grill lemon wedges on the hot griddle and set aside.
Sprinkle chicken with a little icing sugar and serve with a simple tomato, cucumber and onion salad.

Good luck with the big move my friend. Hope to see you back here soon. Hmm, must fire up the barbie soon to try out this delicious looking chicken.
ReplyDeleteHelp! Your chicken recipe looks truly mouthwatering. If you like picture linkys and blog hops, a Decidedly Healthy or Horridly Decadent hop has just begun (Sat party, but open for entries until Mon noon). But, the decidedly healthy (whole grain, poultry, fish or veggie) recipes are in short supply. Consider sharing your recipe with the folks following this hop:

Sounds like it would have a really interesting taste, I just might try this one.
ReplyDeleteI've cooked this dish quite a few times. It's very good in the winter as it gives a little bit of sunshine to an otherwise dull grey days, as we are having now.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another great dish!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious and so well cooked.
Big hugs!

I like checking out all the great ideas for chicken...great spices here. I never thought of grilling the lemons like that! They looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! That looks so delicious. I wonder if it would be good to marinate overnight or if that would make the flavor too bitter? I may try an overnight marinade.
