CHICKEN

  • 1 chicken
  • 300 g creamy plain yogurt
  • 50 g butter
  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon hot paprika
  • 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

  • 1
    Thoroughly mix the yogurt with spices and salt.
  • 2
    Score the chicken on the breasts and thighs to a depth of 1 cm. Then, thoroughly coat the entire surface (including the cuts) with the spiced yogurt. Place the chicken in a bowl, cover with cling film, and let it marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  • 3
    Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  • 4
    Place diced butter in a roasting pan, pour in hot water to a height of 0.5 cm, and place the chicken, along with all the yogurt it marinated in, into the pan.
  • 5
    Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and bake for 75 minutes, or until the thigh bone can be easily twisted. Baste the chicken several times with the pan juices during baking.
Tip
It is necessary to let the chicken marinate for at least 12 hours; this will give the dish its unique flavor. It tastes best with steamed rice.
