Peeled Halved Potatoes
📋 5 Simple Steps
1
Prepare the chicken
Add washed chicken to a pot — use a
whole chicken
or pieces of your choice.
2
Poke & open it up
Gently
poke the chicken all over with a fork
so
RASA spices penetrate deep into the meat.
Tip: Insert fork into the whole cavity
and turn to reach all sides.
3
Rub in RASA & salt
Rub
RASA Festive Roast powder
and salt all
over — inside and out. Every surface should be evenly
coated.
For 1 kg —
3 tbsp RASA + 1 tsp salt
For 500 g —
1.5 tbsp RASA + ½ tsp salt
4
Add the aromatics
Add
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste,
1 tbsp oil,
halved onions,
and
halved potatoes
to the pot alongside
the chicken.
5
Cover, simmer & relax
Cover with a lid
and simmer on low. Turn
once at the halfway mark. When oil rises in the pot — your
roast chicken is ready.
👨🍳 Chef's Tip
When oil rises in the pot, your aromatic roast chicken is ready.
The rising oil is your signal — all moisture has cooked off and
the chicken is perfectly done, fragrant, and golden.
Resist lifting the lid too early; the sealed
steam is what keeps it tender.
The
potatoes and onions
will have soaked up all
the RASA spice, becoming a rich, flavourful side in themselves.
