Materials
1Spatchcock Chicken
1pinchSaffron
200mlMarsala wine
2tbspOlive Oil
2clovesgarlic
100gAlmonds
100gBread crumbs
1Cooking Bag
Instructions
Ideally, marinate the chicken the day before to marinate overnight - or at least for 6 hours
In a large bowl, place the saffron and cover with boiling water and leave for 2 minutes
Then add salt, pepper, the Marsala wine, and the Olive oil
Pour into the cooking bag, then put the chicken in and make sure all the air is out, tighten the knot and mix the bag around so that the entire chicken mixes with the marinade. Leave overnight in the fridge - longer the better and if you can turn it every now and then
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 180°C and remove the chicken from the bag and transfer it to a roasting tray with the marinade, making sure the chicken is as moist as possible and roast for 40 minutes
When time is up, in a food processor place the almonds, breadcrumbs, garlic, 3 tablespoons of the roasting juice and blitz for a few seconds. Sprinkle all over the chicken, pat them down to try and get them to stick to the chicken, do not worry if not perfect. Return to the oven for about 20 minutes, keep an eye on it
Notes
Marsala Wine is a fortified wine found at most bottle stores, I use it often to add a sweet falvour to dishes, sauces etc. My other favourite is frying fennell then deglazing with Marsala - delicious.
