Carrots & Butternut Squash Roast Chicken Drums and Thighs

Happy December and the festive season is here. It’s the season to be joyful and give thanks.

So my family love chicken drumsticks and thighs especially the children. They love carrots too so I thought to mix with some butternut squash and fresh herbs… Perfect after a cold festive shopping day!

For this simple recipe (family of 4), you need….

  • A pack of chicken drumsticks and thighs
  • 4-5 carrots (chopped)
  • Some butternut squash (chopped)
  • 1 red bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1 small size onion (cut into large chunks)
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper (optional)
  • Herbs, Spices and Seasoning: 2 clove garlic, small ginger (crushed), 1 tsp. oregano, 1 tsp. curry powder-mild or medium, fresh coriander, 5 fresh basil, ½ tsp black pepper (dash), sea salt to taste

TIP: Depending on the size of your family, you may need to adjust the quantities.

METHOD

Place the chicken in a pot, add the herbs, curry powder, garlic, ginger, onions, bell pepper. Allow to simmer for a few minutes.

Take off from heat. Place on an oven tray and grill for about 15minutes or until golden brown

Ready!
