Hi Paulene,

If Iā€™m using 2kg of chicken, do I just double the cooking time? Thanks

I haven’t tried to but I would suggest keeping potato very small cut if you want it to cook through well in the time it has šŸ™‚

AMAZING!! Love this and a hit with the family.. Only had 2 chicken breasts so halved the spices and there was still a good kick of heat to it. I saved the juice at the bottom of the dish and put it on the table for the family to add extra if they wished and that they did. Will definitely be making again.. Thank you.

Very nice flavour but i really like my spice so will add extra chilli kick next time. I made the mistake of draining the juices with 30 min to go to flavour my boiled rice. Dried out the chicken a bit but a good lesson!!

Yummy! I do mine with drum sticks and always forget to marinate. The flavours are good. I must try marinating, when I remember.
