Sunday Roast with a difference




Every Sunday in my household without fail, the main meal is Sunday roast. Yesterday we had friends over for a BBQ and had quite a fair bit of left over food. Me being me and hating food waste, I tubbed it all up and fridged it.

I marinated a full chicken in the morning with the following:

1 tablespoon Calcutta Spice Chicken BBQ (Bought this during my last trip to Zimbabwe)
1 Packet Schwartz Chicken Casserole mix
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Half a  green pepper finely chopped
Half a red onion finely chopped
1 tablespoon dried mixed herbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine (or if you prefer non alcoholic use lemon juice)
2 tablespoon water

Rub the chicken spice onto cut chicken pieces. Then mix the rest of the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken and mix well. Cover and place in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

When ready, bake covered in a preheated oven for about 45 minutes to an hour until chicken is cooked through. Remove cover or foil during the last 1o minutes of baking to brown the chicken.

I served mine with fried rice, potato salad, leaf salad and a baked bean salad (all left over from yesterday’s BBQ party).
