Spicy Baked Chicken
"From a Tesco's magazine in the mid 1990s. A great thing to have marinading in the fridge for when you come home from work. Then all you have to do is throw it in the oven! Add some cooked rice and hey presto, a yummy, spicy dinner! Preparation time does not include marinading time."

Yum! I made this for my dh & I recently, and we really enjoyed it! I did add some crushed garlic to the mix, and omitted the turmeric because we did not have any. I served it with rice, and salads. Thanks for sharing!!!

I'm an American living in London since I got married in 1994 (except for a brief stint in New Jersey, and then Luxembourg). I work part-time for a national charity and also study social sciences part-time with the Open University. Keeps me busy, but I still find plenty of time to cook and search for 'zaar recipes!
Over time my cooking has meshed English and American customs together, especially at holiday time. I make a mean Christmas fruitcake complete with Fondant Icing and marzipan, but I still have a Christmas cookie party for my friends where I introduce (or subject!) them to all my favorite cookie recipes. My husband and two kids will happily eat Shepherd's Pie or Sloppy Joes, cheese and onion or grilled cheese sandwiches. The comparisons go on and on...
