Harissa Chicken Tray-bake | Jamie Oliver | #QuickandEasyFood


[Music]
hi guys we’re gonna make the most
delicious harissa chicken tray bake its
a beautiful colorful Mediterranean style
meal full of flavors it’s from my book
jamie’s quick and easy five ingredient
foods it’s all about five ingredients
working really hard best friends okay so
we got chicken beautiful sweet peppers
onion mint and we’ve got the most
important ingredient harissa so good
a lovely mixture of chilies and spices
delicious look at these peppers they’re
so beautiful just push in the little
core I want to get rid of the seeds and
then just tear it up into rough sized
chunks I’ve got two onions here cut them
into quarters kind of unpick them like
little petals mix this up look at the
colors so beautiful season it nice sea
salt pepper as well we’re gonna go in
with some extra virgin olive oil just a
couple of nice tablespoons and a little
swig of vinegar vinegar really helps to
bring the flavor out of everything and
then you get the sweetness from the
peppers and onions and the sourness from
the vinegar sweet and sour so it’s gonna
taste absolutely amazing and then I’m
gonna use some harissa now harissa is a
North African paste chili paste they
come in different flavors but basically
it’s pounded out dry chilies with oil
and different versions of spices and the
flavor is phenomenal four nice teaspoons
goes into our tray here and you can rub
it on vegetables on fish and in this
case it’s going all over the chicken
peppers and that will make all the
difference give this a nice little mix
then I’ve got a little trick for the
chicken put it in the tray hold it nice
and firmly and then get the tip of the
knife at the top of the carcass and run
your knife down let the knife do the
work carefully cut that down and then we
can open up like a book now the legs
take longer to cook in the breasts
so we can intervene and what we can do
is cut right down to the bone right to
allow the heat in but not just the heat
the flavor right so what we’re doing is
we’re evening up the cooking times we’re
making it look more appealing and
literally I’m rubbing the harissa and
the oil and all those flavors inside and
outside the chicken the flavors gonna be
so good and then we’re gonna lay that
chicken on top of the veggies let me
wash my hands a little bit of sea salt
on top and then in the oven we go for 50
minutes to an hour at 180 degrees
Celsius which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit
and when that cooks it’s gonna be
amazing the chicken will cook into the
veg the veg will steam up and flavor the
chicken is a beautiful beautiful harmony
you’re gonna love it
look at that the smell is amazing and
the way I love to serve it is actually
on a really nice rustic board beautiful
veggies that harissa has mixed with all
the stuff that would normally make a
beautiful gravy so you get this sauce
and you just want to scrape that down
and then put that back over the chicken
look at that beautiful fresh mint over
the top so fragrant absolutely gorgeous
look how juicy it is you got crispy skin
here
so go chili and the spices and all the
sticky goodness serve that with some
rice
little flat breads tacos you know some
nice little customers absolutely

tasty what you’re waiting for
