CHICKEN ROAST




CHICKEN ROAST
This simple and delicious Chicken Roast makes a perfect meal either for lunch or dinner. The left overs make good sandwiches the next day. This recipe is featured in my Recipe Book ANGLO-INDIAN CUISINE - A LEGACY OF FLAVOURS FROM THE PAST. 

Serves 6   Preparation Time 1 hour
Ingredients
1 whole chicken cleaned and washed well
Salt to taste
2 teaspoons ground black pepper powder
1 teaspoon Chillie powder
2 tablespoons oil or ghee
2 or 3 dry red chillies
A few whole pepper corns

Marinate the whole chicken with the salt, pepper and chillie powder for about half an hour. Heat oil or ghee in a thick -bottomed pan and add the whole chicken together with the broken red chillies and pepper corns. Turn the chicken from side to side and fry for about for about 5 minutes or till the chicken becomes firm. Add about 2 cups of water and mix well. Cover the pan with a tight lid and cook first on high heat then over low heat turning the chicken occasionally till the chicken is cooked and all the water / soup  is absorbed. Continue to cook till the chicken is roasted to a lovely golden brown. Serve with steamed vegetables such as peas, carrots,
