A creamy, hearty and cheesy chicken bake bathed in a savoury custard sauce and a crispy pork rind topping. If you are not on low carb or keto diet, replace the pork rink with breadcrumbs. The acidity of the white wine and the lemon cause the cheese custard to curdle in the cooking, which doesn’t sound very appetizing, but it’s heavenly delicious. Gruyère cheese
©angiesrecipes gives the gratin a more pungent, complex, and nutty flavour profile. Opt for extra aged Cheddar
©angiesrecipes, if you prefer a milder, buttery flavour. Enjoy it with a side of salad, or crusty bread, but the pasta or potato would be a nice complement too if they fit your dietary goals.

If you've never cooked with achiote paste, you're in for a treat! This roasted achiote chicken is juicy, tender, citrusy and packed with rich Mexican flavours from a homemade achiote paste. You can easily purchase them online, but it is so much better when made at home, as you can use fresher ingredients and control everything that goes into it.
Achiote paste is a popular seasoning widely used in Mexican, Central American, and Caribbean cuisines. It’s made with annatto seeds, garlic, oregano, spices, optional chillies, and citrus juice. Known for their distinctive red colour, earthy, zesty flavour, they are excellent as a marinade for meat. Store the prepared paste in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

The chicken mariantes overnight (or at least 30 minutes) in a flavourful, well-seasoned marinade of bloomed saffron, yoghurt, garlic, and lemon juice that deliver the perfect combination of acidity, sweetness, and umami - absolutely irresistible. I go for chicken thighs with the skin on and bone in, because they are nearly impossible to overcook and stay incredibly juicy. However, you can use only chicken breasts if you prefer. Adjust the cooking time and oven temperature accordingly.

These tender yet crispy ranch roast chicken drumsticks are tangy, perfectly herby, delicious and so flavorful, and ready in under an hour with less than 10 minutes of prep. Usually ranch dressing is used to toss salads or as a dip, but it also works great as a flavorful marinade for chicken thanks to the acid in buttermilk. Homemade ranch dressing with fresh herbs offers vibrant, bright flavour and freshness that store-bought alternatives can’t match. If you want to use store-bought one, then try adding some fresh herbs for a pop of green colour and aromatic depth.

A cheap and effortless way to jazz up chicken! Juicy chicken legs are filled with tangy Greek feta, garlic and fennel, then roasted until golden and irresistible. Pungent, earthy, and slightly peppery fresh oregano complements the tangy lemon, briny feta and rich chicken flavours beautifully. If unavailable, you can substitute it with thyme or rosemary. I used skin on boneless chicken legs, but you can leave the bone in or use 8 chicken thighs. Half the feta filling if you are going to use a whole chicken. Easy to make, but it's still fancy enough to serve at a dinner party.

A delicious pairing that balances the savory, juicy chicken thighs with the slightly bitter, creamy texture of the roasted Beligum endives. Dry white wine serves multiple functional roles here, keeping the chicken moist and tender while adding depth of flavour and adding a balancing acidity to the salty flavours from the bacon. Serve it with some crusty bread to mop up the sauce or over some buttered noodles.

Preserved lemons offer a unique salty, tangy, and subtly sweet flavour that works well with poultry, seafood, lamb, and vegetables. To make the marinade, you just dump everything in your blender or processor and blend everything until smooth. Use it to marinate chicken for 1-2 hours. I wouldn’t marinate them longer than 6 hours as acidity in lemon could cook the chicken and change the texture if you leave them too long. The marinade made with preserved lemon gives chicken a unique and mouthwatering intensity of citrus flavour with less sharp acidity than fresh lemon.
