This JUICY Chicken is the perfect lunch for those who don’t want to spend a long time in the kitchen. If you’re looking for some delicious juicy chicken then this juicy chicken is what you need.

Caution: Once you find yourself stocking up your fridge with whole chickens to use in this recipe don’t say I didn’t warn you haha

Ingredients needed

The greatest part of this recipe is that it requires under 10 ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

The Marinade:

• Spring onion
• Pepper
• Onions
• Scotch Bonnet
• Oil
• Fresh coriander (optional)

Other:

• A whole chicken
• Stock cube (preferably chicken or vegetable stock)
• Seasoning (Tumeric, Paprika, Cayenne pepper, Corriander, Garlic powder, Onion powder, Ginger powder)

Quick Tip: Are you unsure if the chicken has fully cooked? Use a kitchen thermometer. It should read between 75 C – 82 C

What to serve this Juicy Chicken with?

Chicken is versatile you can pair it with literally anything. Here’s what I typically serve the chicken with:

• Roasted potatoes| Nothing tastes better than crispy potatoes
• A salad| Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese and a drizzle of olive oil makes a delicious salad.
• Spicy rice
• Plain rice
• Bread| Shred your chicken and make a sandwich

Quick Tip: If cooking a much larger chicken cover the chicken with foil upon cooking and then remove the foil for the last 20 minutes of cooking to ensure crispiness.
