Turkish Spiced Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Chicken (backbone removed)
  • 2 tablespoons Ground Toasted Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Toasted Coriander
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon All-Spice
  • 1 tablespoon Crushed Aleppo Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Use a mortar and pestle to combine the spices with the Olive Oil to form a paste. Rub the paste evenly onto the Chicken.

Place the Chicken on a baking sheet, skin side down. Roast for about 15 minutes. Flip the bird skin-side-up and continue to roast for 30 more minutes or until the internal temperature of the Chicken reaches 160°F.

Let the Chicken rest for 10 minutes then slice and serve.

Note: The spice rub can be used to season a whole Chicken
