Sweet spicy chicken
INGREDIENTS

4 x 500g small chickens (spatchcocks)
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander
2 green onions, chopped finely
1/3 cup (100g) mango chutney
2 tablespoons olive oil
METHOD

1 Using kitchen scissors, cut along each side of the chicken backbone; discard backbones. Cut chickens in half along breastbones.
2 Combine the chickens in a large bowl with the paprika, garlic, seeds, coriander, onion, chutney and oil. Cover, refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
3 Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Drain chickens, reserve marinade. Place the chickens, skin-side up, on a rack in a baking paper-lined baking dish.
4 Roast, uncovered, for about 30-40 minutes or until cooked through, brushing with the marinade several times during cooking. Cover with foil if the chicken starts to over-brown.
5 Serve the chicken with roasted pumpkin wedges, if desired.
Not suitable to freeze or microwave.

Tip: If small chickens are unavailable, buy a regular 1.5kg chicken and roast for about 1 hour, covering with foil for the first half of the cooking time.
