Yaji roast chicken with cucumber yoghurt and lemon

Serves 4 · 45 minutes

Roast the chicken until the skin is crisp, then add Yaji near the end so the honey stays glossy and the suya spice stays clear.

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fine sea salt
  • 1 lemon, halved
  • 3 tablespoons Yaji
  • 250g Greek yoghurt
  • Half a cucumber
  • Black pepper

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C fan.
  2. Put the chicken and lemon halves in a roasting tray. Rub with olive oil and season with salt.
  3. Roast for 30 minutes.
  4. While the chicken cooks, grate the cucumber, squeeze out the excess water and stir it through the yoghurt with black pepper.
  5. Brush the chicken generously with Yaji. Return to the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until glazed and cooked through. Cook the thickest part to 75°C for 30 seconds.
  6. Serve with the cucumber yoghurt and the roasted lemon for squeezing over.
