TURMERIC CHICKEN
This turmeric chicken is a showstopper in the middle of the table surrounded by all your favourite sides. It’s bright yellow in colour from turmeric, but the marinade is a celebration of south east asian seasonings and flavours. The spice definitely penetrates into the chicken through the marinade, and the butterflying of the chicken allows an even cook all over, whilst also a quicker cook time all up.
Serves with a refresher plate of cucumber and below are some sides I recommend along with the chicken…
