Chicken Cashew Corriander Roast

Chicken Cashew Corriander Roast

With the use of a few ingredients to make a marinade and some roasting in the oven, you will have a wonderful Chicken Cashew Corriander Roast. I have used the leg portion of the chicken with the skin on as use of such will give us a soft, mildly flavoured juicy chicken roast.

Yield: 8 pieces

Prep. Time: 20 Mins. + Marination

Cooking Time:40 to 50 Mins.

Ingredients:

  • Whole Chicken Legs (with skin) – 1 kg
  • Grind together for the Marinade:
    • Cashew Nuts – 10 to 12
    • Green Corriander – 2 cups
    • Garlic – 12 cloves
    • Lime Juice – 2 limes (medium sized)
    • Zest – of 1 lime
    • Black Pepper Corns – 1 tsp.
    • Olive Oil – ¼ cup + 1 tbsp.
  • Carrots (small) – a few as needed
  • Crushed Black Pepper – ¼ tsp.
  • Butter – 2 tbsp.
  • Salt – 1 to 1 ½ tsp.

Step 1:     Cut each leg into two, wash and pat dry. Make small incisions in the flesh so that the marinade penetrates.

Step 4:     Roast in a pre-heated oven place on the middle rack at 190°c for 40 to 45 minutes. Later switch your oven to grill mode and shift the tray closer to the grill to grill for 3 to 4 minutes till light golden.

Notes:

  • The cooking time in the oven will vary depending upon the size of the legs. We grilled for around 50 minutes when we had 4 legs in 1 kg.
