Garam Masala and Tamarind Sauce: Easy Steps to Get the Most Flavor

Warm up and get ready: Warm the oven up to 425°F. In a baking sheet with a lip, put a wire rack to catch all the juices.

Mix and Smear: Put together the cinnamon, salt, pepper, garam masala, tamarind sauce, and butter. Take off the skin from the chicken breast and thighs, and then spread the mixture out evenly on the inside. Put the chicken breast up on the rack and salt it all over. Tuck the wings under and tie the legs together.

To Get It Just Right, put it in the oven and roast it until the legs reach 175°F. This should take about 60 to 80 minutes. The smell will make your taste buds dance!

Rest and Carve: After taking your chicken out of the oven, let it cool for about 30 minutes. This gives the tastes time to mix. Cut it up like a pro, and don’t forget to add more tamarind sauce for the finishing touch.

Smile and Serve

To soak up all the tasty juices, serve this roast chicken with mild beans and warm flatbread. It’s an easy recipe that will make everyone at the table want more. Add some spice and enjoy the magic of tamarind and garam masala!
