recipecommunityRoast Chicken with Saffron, Hazelnuts, and Honey
Ingredients
1 large chicken, divided into quarters: breast and wing, leg and thigh
4 tablespoon cold water
2 onions, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
4 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 scant cup unskinned hazelnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 1/2 tablespoon honey
1 generous pinch of saffron threads
2 tablespoon rose water
Juice of 1 lemon`
2 green onions, coarsely chopped
Yield: 4 Servings
Directions
1-In a large bowl, mix the chicken pieces with the onions, olive oil, ginger, cinnamon, saffron, lemon juice, water, salt, and pepper. Leave to marinate for at least an hour, or overnight in the fridge.
2-Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C. Spread the hazelnuts out on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Chop coarsely and set aside.
3-Transfer the chicken and marinade to a baking sheet large enough to accommodate everything comfortably. Arrange the chicken pieces skin side up and put the pan in the oven for about 35 minutes.
4-While the chicken is roasting, mix the honey, rose water, and nuts together to make a rough paste. Remove the chicken from the oven, spoon a generous amount of nut paste onto each piece, and spread it to cover. Return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the nuts are golden brown.
5-Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and garnish with the chopped green onions.
