Easy
Serves 6
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 hr 10 mins
Raw chicken in marinade can be frozen
Ingredients
6 large whole chicken leg pieces, skin on, cut into legs and thighs
3 tbsp chipotle paste (I used Discovery)
3 tsp ground coriander
2 tbsp olive oil
juice 1 lime
2 onions , each cut into 8 wedges
6 garlic cloves , bashed flat
1 mild red chilli , deseeded, finely chopped
1 tbsp muscovado sugar
1 tsp tomato purée
200ml chicken stock
FOR THE TANGY RICE & BEAN SALAD
400g basmati and wild rice mix (we used Tilda)
400g can black beans (or use pinto or black-eye beans), rinsed and drained
285g can sweetcorn , drained (Niblets have the crispest texture)
bunch spring onions , finely chopped
2 tbsp clear honey
3 tsp ground cumin
3 tbsp cider or rice wine vinegar
6 tbsp olive oil
handful coriander
Method
1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the chicken into a plastic food bag with 2 tbsp of the chipotle paste, all the ground coriander, 1 tbsp oil, a squeeze of lime and a grinding of black pepper. Marinate for 30 mins (up to 24 hrs). Tip into a roasting tin, scatter the onion around, drizzle with a little more oil, then roast for 1 hr until the chicken is dark golden and crisping on the top. After 30 mins, tuck the garlic in around the chicken.
2. Lift the chicken and onions out of the tin and onto a big plate. Turn the oven to low and keep the chicken warm, uncovered. Place the tin on the hob, spoon off excess fat, then add most of the chilli and fry for 2 mins until fragrant. Stir in the sugar, tomato purée and remaining chipotle paste, then add the stock and bubble down for about 5 mins until you have a sticky sauce. Season with salt and pepper and another squeeze of lime juice. (The chicken will keep in a low oven, uncovered, for up to half an hour. You can also decant the sauce into a saucepan and reheat it.) To serve, spoon the sauce and garlic over and around the chicken and scatter with the remaining chilli. Serve with the rice salad, salsa and wedges (see below).
3. For the rice salad, rinse the rice in a sieve until the water runs clear, then boil for 15 mins until just tender. Drain in a sieve, rinse under cold water to cool quickly, then drain well and tip into a big serving bowl. Tip in the beans, sweetcorn and spring onions. Whisk together the honey, cumin, vinegar and oil to make the dressing, season, then toss through the salad. If making ahead, keep chilled. Just before serving, chop the coriander and fold it in.
