CHICKEN

This recipe is bursting with flavour and is so simple to make. The combination of aromatic spices work in harmony together infusing the chicken with great flavour and developing a crispy crust on the outside skin whilst the bone keeps the inside super moist.

With the subtle heat from a little Cayenne Pepper, the fragrant flavour of Cinnamon, the sweetness of honey and the zesty tang of fresh lemon, this is a tantalising flavour journey for your tastebuds. After cooking, the dates become soft and sweet making the perfect ready-made jam condiment that perfectly compliments the spicy ginger chicken. Finish with a little pomegranate molasses for added sweetness and touch of elegant decadence.

We recommend serving with a fresh orange, fennel and rocket salad. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
