Why not pimp up your weekend roast??? The flavours in this chicken are next level!! 20 mins to prep ONLY… so simple because the marinade is just whizzed together in the food processor then rubbed all over the chicken then the oven does all the work for you!
The result is the most tender, juicy, spicy chicken with wonderfully intense flavours coming through from the lemongrass, chilli and garlic.
Hope you try this one guys!
