Method

First, pat the chicken dry then rub all over with a little olive oil and using your hands, season the chicken with the 4 teaspoons of the blended spices from the Spice Pouch plus salt to your taste, then place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Then, in a medium oven skillet add olive oil and fry down the shallots until soft and caramelised. About 10 minutes

Next add the tomato paste to the bottom of the skillet for around 3 minutes to remove the bitterness then stir into the shallots.

Next add the white wine or chicken stock to deglaze the pan, stir well then add the tomatoes, sherry vinegar, raisins, almonds and Dijon mustard, stirring to bring everything together then add the orange juice.

Return the chicken to the skillet, skin side up, spooning a little of the sauce over the chicken and place in a pre heated oven 180c. Cover the skillet and roast for 30 minutes until chicken is firm, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
