Spicy Marinated Chicken with Lemon, Ginger and Coriander (Pollo speziato marinato al limone, zenzero e coriandolo)

This marinated chicken is one of my favourites. Very spicy and full of flavours it will delight your guests! I preferably use organic or farm chicken, much more tasteful and less fat. You will need 1 kg of chicken cut in pieces to serve 4 people.

Serving 4
Ingredients:
1kg Chicken in small pieces
1 bunch of fresh coriander
1 piece of fresh ginger peeled
2 garlic cloves
4 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The juice of one lemon
1 Teaspoon ground pepper
1 Teaspoon ground tumeric
1 Teaspoon ground sweet paprika
1 Teaspoon of "5 spices" (Mix of ground cinnamon, cloves, star anice, fennel and Sechouan pepper)
Unrifined sea salt to taste

Cut and clean the chicken, place it in a large mixing bowl.

Add all the other ingredients, oil, lemon and salt included, in a food mixer and mix to obtain the marinate.

Pour the marinate into the bowl and mix well to cover the chicken completely. marinate for minimum 1 (or more) hours.

When well marinated, place the chicken in a oven pan. Place it in the oven at 180°C (convection oven or 190°C Normal oven) for about 1 hour.

After 1 hour, you chicken is ready, place it on a serving plate, pour the cooking sauce on the top and decorate with fresh coriander and lemon zests. Buon appetito!

Neapolitan "Sfogliatella Frolla" (sfogliatella frolla napoletana)

The content and pictures of this post are copyright registered & protected ©myitaliancuisine I miss Italy tremendously... so today I will propose you something very traditional from Naple: the Sfogliatella! Neapolitan most famous pastry:"Sfogliatella"comes in two styles: "riccia", with a crust of many crisp, papery layers, and "frolla", with a thicker pastry crust. The riccia's tender exterior (made with flour, water, and lard) consists of concentric squashed rings. The frolla shell (made with flour, sugar, and butter or lard) is like the best sweet piecrust. Both hold fillings of sweetened ricotta and cooked semolina flavored with vanilla, "millefiori" flavour and mixed candied fruits. I propose you the Sfogliatella frolla, much easier to make at home....but terrific as well as the Riccia! The filling is, anyway, always the same. Makes about 20 Sfogliatelle Ingredients for the pastry crust: 500gr Pastry flour 180gr...
