Homemade 'Nandos'

This is my Dads recipe. Comparable to a Nandos it is one of the most popular dishes I've ever posted. Here is my recipe for it!

What you need.

Large Chicken Spatchcocked

Marinade

large shallot/small onion

5 cloves garlic finely chopped/blended

Juice of 1 lemon

5 tablespoons olive oil

4 tablespoons white wine vinegar 3 teaspoons cayenne pepper 3 teaspoons sweet paprika 3 teaspoons chilli flakes 2 teaspoons of salt 2 teaspoons black pepper

Glaze 3 tablespoons butter small bunch coriander chopped 3 garlic cloves crushed, juice small lemon 2 tablespoon of any hot sauce.

Method

1. Spatchcock the chicken (backbone cut out and flatten to break breast bone) slashed a few times on breast/thighs/legs.

2. Blend all marinade ingredients together until smooth. Put the chicken in a dish and cover with marinade over meat side massaging well into all cuts. Cover and chill for min 4hrs or even overnight.

3. Preheat oven to 180c - place chicken on a rack over a roasting tray - rub any marinade still in the dish over the chicken.

4. Roast approx 1hr depends on the size of chicken (test for clear juice from thighs with a skewer). Rest for about 15-20min before serving.

5. For the glaze gently sauté garlic and coriander in the butter until garlic is soft. Add other ingredients and simmer for 2-3 min. You can make ahead and re-warm gently then drizzle over the cooked chicken.

Serve with whatever sides you like!
