Roasted Mojito Chicken

Roasted Mojito chicken is a vibrant, zesty, Caribbean-inspired dish that marinates chicken in a refreshing marinade of rum, lime, and fresh mint, as well as some olive oil, shallot and spices. I used bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs but use whatever you like. Adjust the cooking time accordingly. You could also grill the chicken if you like.
Krapow Khai Yat Sai - Thai Stuffed Chicken Omelette
Sunday, July 12, 2026| |

Krapow Khai Yat Sai is a flavorful, umami-rich Thai dish that combines two classic favorites: Krapow and Khai Yat Sai. Krapow is a spicy minced meat stirfry with garlic, chillies, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and a generous handful of Thai basil. Khai Yat Sai means stuffed omelette . The stirfried minced meat filling is placed in the center of the omelette , and the sides are neatly folded over to create a savory "package". If you don’t have Thai basil, use regular Italian basil or cilantro. I used minced chicken, but pork, beef or even crumbled tofu work fine too. Not a fan of omelette? No problem, just enjoy the stirfry with jasmine rice.
Achiote Pork Belly with Pineapple Salsa

Achiote pork belly is a show-stopping meal for any occasion. Slow braised in Corona beer and an earthy, citrusy, and vibrant Mexican achiote paste. The meat is rich, melt-in-your-mouth and incredibly flavourful with flawless crunchy crackling. For best results, begin this recipe a day ahead to allow time for drying out the pork belly overnight in the fridge, to achieve the ultimate crackling experience.
Achiote is a a paste of ground annato, garlic, oregano, a blend of spices, optional chillies, and citrus juice or vinegar. It is an essential ingredient for this recipe, there is no substitute.
To carve the pork belly, turn it upside down—this makes cutting the crackling easier. There’s no need to thicken the sauce, but you can remove some fat and thicken it to make a gravy.

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.

Greek Feta Stuffed Chicken with Oregano

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.

Add some flair to your next Sunndy family meal with this succulent and crispy pork belly stuffed with toasted pistachios, green olives and herbs. Paired with soft, sweet apple and fennel for a well-rounded meal and it's a sure-fire winner for any special occasion. Add other vegetables (onions, mushrooms, squash and tomtoes) to the fennels and use pears or quince instead of apples if you like. Next time I will cut down the fennel seeds to 1 teaspoon or even leave it out completely and season the pork skin just with sea salt.

Chicken Tariq - Harissa Curdled Yoghurt Chicken

If you're into vibrant, smoky, fiery, and zesty food, you will love this African-inspired chicken tariq. Tariq here refers to the Rock of Gibraltar island, which comes from the Arabic Jabal Tariq ("Mountain of Tariq"), named after the Arabic commander Tariq ibn Ziyad. While geographically European, its proximity to Africa and historical ties, the food in Gibraltar blends British pub grub, Spanish tapas, and North African flavours. Creamy yohugrt and spicy harissa create a tender, flavourful, and golden crispy baked chicken dish that you'll turn to time and time again. The yoghurt tenderize the chicken and adds creaminess, balancing the harissa's heat for a rich, zesty flavour. Great to serve with flatbread, rice or just a simple salad.
Portuguese Inspired Roasted Chicken with White Asparagus
Wednesday, March 04, 2026Traditionally Portuguese chicken is prepared with a piri piri sauce. In this recipe, I took the liberty of making a marinade using dried chilli powder instead of piri piri chilli peppers. While this recipe might seem not authentic, they do taste amazing! For optimal results, the marinade should be left on the chicken for at least 2 hours, but even better if left overnight. Instead of white asparagus, you can use sliced potatoes or pumpkin.
