Method

  1. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Sit the chicken in a large roasting tin. Mix together the turmeric, 1 tsp ginger, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp cinnamon and oil, then brush all over the chicken, making sure all of the spiced oil is used. Season well. Pour 250ml water into the bottom of the tin, cover with foil and seal around the edges. Put in the oven and cook for 2 hrs.
  2. Remove the foil and increase oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cook for a further 30 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave until cool enough to handle. Strip the chicken meat from the carcass in chunky pieces and set aside.
  3. To make the salad, mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise, remaining 1 tsp each of ginger, cumin and cinnamon, cayenne pepper and pomegranate molasses or balsamic glaze. Add the chicken pieces, apples, all but a handful of the walnuts and parsley, and season.
  4. Spoon the salad onto a large plate. To serve, drizzle with a little pomegranate molasses or balsamic glaze and scatter over the pomegranate seeds, remaining walnuts and chopped parsley.

    A lovely new take on an old recipe. Made it for the staff at school and they loved it. It's easy but tastes very difficult!

    Really want to make this for a buffet I'm doing soon, wondering if I can use fillets instead as I want to double up on the amount?

    Made this for jubilee street party, but used chicken breasts instead so didn't do the roasting bit. It tasted amazing and looked impressive!

    Ok, but not a big fan of chicken skin unless its crispy so would use a pre cooked chicken and add xtra oice t the dressing.
