Gluten Free, Dairy Free


  • Chicken Thighs (1 per person)

  • 3tbsp oil

  • 3 Cloves of Garlic

  • Gluten Free/ Dairy Free Naan Bread (2 -3 mini ones per person) OR Boiled rice (1 handful per person)

    For the spice:

  • 2 tbsp Ground Coriander

  • 2 tbsp Ground Cumin

  • 1 tsp Salt

  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper

  • 2 tsp Turmeric

  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

  • 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger


Place the spices into an oven proof dish (large enough to fit all your chicken thighs in). Mix with the oil and garlic cloves and then coat you chicken thighs with it. Leave it to marinade as long as possible.

Place in the oven at 200 degrees for 30-45 minutes (until the chicken is cooked through). Once cooked, shred the chicken and serve with salad stuffed in naan bread with mango chutney or mayonnaise OR mix with boiled rice. Mixing it with rice bulks it out for more people and makes it go further!


I tend to make a job lot of the spice mix in a jar rather than faff around with teaspoons every time I want to make this. If you also choose to do this you just need to add 3 tbsp of the pre made spice mix to the oil and garlic in the oven dish and coat your chicken with it. It's much easier!
