Ingredients
- 8 chicken pieces
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon cajun spice
- 2 tablespoon spicy shisanyama spice
- 1 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 4 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoon chutney
- Fresh coriander
- Fresh parsley
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken for Marination
Begin by poking holes into the chicken pieces.
This allows the marinade to penetrate and infuse the meat with flavor.
Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 2 tablespoons of Cajun spice, 2 tablespoons of spicy shisanyama spice, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of thyme.
Thoroughly massage these spices into the chicken to ensure even coverage.
Step 2: Create the Marinade
Add 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 4 tablespoons of chutney (such as mango or spicy apricot) to the spiced chicken.
Incorporate some fresh coriander and fresh parsley into the mixture, enhancing the flavor with a touch of freshness.
Mix everything well to make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 3: Marinate the Chicken
Cover the chicken and let it marinate for about 1 to 2 hours.
If the weather is warm, make sure to refrigerate the chicken to keep it safe and to allow the flavors to meld together more effectively.
Step 4: Bake the Chicken
Preheat your oven to the appropriate temperature.
Transfer the marinated chicken into a baking dish, spreading the pieces out evenly.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the chicken until it is fully cooked, ensuring it’s tender and packed with flavor.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, remove it from the oven.
Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your flavorful, seasoned chicken dish with your choice of sides!
