Ingredients

8 chicken pieces, skins removed

groundnut oil for brushing

60g - 2oz butter

1 red onion thinly sliced to serve

lemon wedges to serve

FOR THE MARINADE

1 onion chopped

2 large garlic cloves

1cm - 1/2 inch piece fresh ginger

3 tbsp lemon juice

pinch of salt

1 1/2 tsp chilli powder, or to taste

1 tsp garam masala

pinch of turmeric

pinch of saffron powder

Directions

Use a fork to prick the chicken, place in a non metallic bowl

TO MAKE THE MARINADE

blend the onion, garlic and ginger to a paste

add the lemon juice, salt and spices and process again

pour over the chicken and marinade for at least 3 hours (I use Tupperware so I can shake it up at any time)

preheat oven to 220C - gas 7

put a wire wrack on top of a sheet of foil - shiny side up - in a roasting pan and place chicken onto it

brush chicken with melted butter

roast for 20 - 25 min or till juices run clear

brush chicken again with groundnut oil and pop under a hot grill

grill for 5 -10 min or until the edges are lightly charred

serve with the onions slices and lemon wedges
