Make the Marinade and Marinate Chicken
Combine the red chilli, garlic, ginger, dried oregano, coriander, paprika, red wine vinegar, and oil in a small food processor and whizz until smooth. Rub this spicy mixture all over the chicken, then let it sit for 1 hour at room temperature to absorb the flavors. - 02
Roast the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 190°C (or 170°C fan / gas mark 5). Transfer the marinated chicken to a roasting tray and cook for 1 hour 20 minutes, until the juices run clear when you pierce the thickest part.
