Got the ingredients for this in the fridge at the moment - stolen from Madhur Jaffrey.

Kenyan Coriander chicken.

Blitz a load of ginger, about 6 cloves of garlic and a little water into a paste. Spead over a load of skinned (important) thighs and drumsticks and leave overnight.

Blend a couple of diced tomatoes, a BIG bunch of fresh coriander, a couple of hot chillis, a little water and salt until its a runny green liquid.

Throw the chicken and marinade into a hot oiled pan and cook for about 10 minutes, turning. Add the green stuff and cook until the oil separates - about another 10. Then chuck in half a big tub of yoghurt and cook for another 5 minutes.

Consume.

Simple one: Saffron chicken

Grate several onions into a seive and drain/press out as much water as you can.

Steep a generous amount of saffron dust into a glass and add a tablespoon of water. Leave for twenty minutes.

Mix onion and a one litre carton of thick yoghurt into a bowl. Add the saffron, a little black pepper and a few drops of lime juice to the mix. add salt if you want and a small amount of grated ginger and a smidge of chilli powder or some kind of chill sauce.... a really tiny amount just for warmth to compliment the ginger.

Throw in the chicken thighs / drumsticks and leave for at least two hours or preferably overnight.

Stick in oven and cook for 40 minutes or until done. Prep time about 45mins.

Eat with a sticky fragrant rice such as Jasmine.

Roast them in the oven with some chopped up veg, liberally sprinkle them with herbs/spices (plenty of Paprika). For the last 30 minutes throw a tin of chick peas and a tin of chopped tomatoes in.

Virtually zero effort for a meal with a lot of taste.

Grated rind of 1 orange

Bake in oven till chicken cooked.

Take the bones out of the thighs and marinate them with some garlic, lemon, salt and pepper for half an hour, then grill them until the skin is nice and crispy.

Bit late now but tandoori or chicken and chorizo works well with jointed legs. Recipes in the "dinner" thread.
