1 whole chicken cut in half with skin
Marinate with :
1tsp paprika, 1.5 tsp salt and little pepper and 1 block crushed garlic and ginger with a drizzle of oil

Bake in oven at 190 for 45 mins

Sauce:
1heaped tbsp butter
2-3 tbsp oil
1 heaped tbsp chopped garlic
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
1/2 bottle Nando’s peri peri sauce
Small handful of chopped coriander
1/2 tsp crushed cumin
3/4 tin of double cream (you can sub for dairy free cream)

1. Heat oil and butter in large pan
2. Add garlic – cook for 1 min
3. Add all other ingredients and let this simmer until slightly thickened
4. Add chicken cook until done

Tip: make the sauce the night before and add a little water once cooking the chicken. If you cook the chicken in the sauce it tastes much better! Add salt to your liking we don’t tend to add any in the sauce , if you find the sauce too lemony add a little sugar and cook through. If you prefer you can cook the chicken fully in the oven.
