Lemon & Herb Chicken

Lemon and Herb Chicken

Do you like your chicken with a kick, but not so spicy that you’re reaching for the milk jug after your first bite? Lemon and herb chicken is a perfect way to add some excitement to dinner. Just take it out of the freezer and enjoy a sweet and tangy alternative to boring old plain chicken.

While your chicken is warming up in the oven, you can get inventive with your sides. We’ve listed a few that the kids will love below.

Give your rice a kick too

Rice goes perfectly with lemon and herb chicken. If you want to, you can just boil some white rice and let it absorb all that delicious lemony sauce. It’s so much more fun to serve your rice with a twist though. Adding mango or pineapple is a great way to get the kids to eat fruit. Peas always go down well too. Do you really want to show off your cooking skills? Try sautéing your rice in a pan with some oil, mushrooms and garlic.

The great thing about rice is that you can make it taste however you want it to, depending on what mood you’re all in.

Crispy Breadcrumbs

The only thing better than lemon and herb chicken, is crispy lemon and herb chicken. All you need to do is defrost your chicken and cover it in breadcrumbs. Then just stick it in the oven and make it as crispy as you like.

Our advice is to serve your chicken when it’s soft and juicy on the inside, and crunchily crispy on the outside. Then add those perfect last touches to your crispy chicken with some extra herbs and lemon juice.

Fresh Summer Salads

Vibrant dishes like lemon and herb chicken are perfect for summer. They’re also perfect for fresh and tasty salads. From refreshing lettuce to juicy tomatoes, cool cucumbers and punchy peppers, you’ve got so much choice. That’s before you even get to salad sauces. Soy sauce will give your salad an unforgettable Oriental twist. Ginger sauce will give the lemon a whole new stage to perform on.

Introducing the kids to salad isn’t always easy. It becomes so much easier when you’re serving your salad with juicy, succulent and tangy lemon and herb chicken.

Tandoori Chicken Pieces Box

Tandoori Chicken Pieces 

Tandoor ovens first became popular in India in the 15th Century as a way of bringing people from different social groups together. Communities would place a large clay pot in the ground. Then they’d insert wood or charcoal. After that, they would light a fire and grill a delicious variety of meat and fish over searing 480°C heat.

Modern clay tandoors are widely popular in kitchens and restaurants. The oven still burns during cooking, giving you that unforgettable earthy taste. This takes BBQ to a whole new level.

One of the most popular dishes cooked in this special oven is the world-famous Tandoori Chicken. This dish gets its famous red colour because the chicken is coated in chilli powder before it’s grilled.

Once it’s ready, our team vacuum packs and freezes the chicken. You can then enjoy it whenever you want to.

Just heat it up and prepare your sides. Here are some of the easiest ones to make…

Cool your taste buds down with a refreshingly minty yoghurt.

This is a perfect way to take out some of your chicken’s spice. Chop up a few mint leaves in a bowl. Then add some Greek yoghurt and squirt on as much lemon juice as you like. Then relax and enjoy maximum taste and minimum hassle.

Try something a bit different – Go for some couscous.

You can find couscous in any supermarket. Just boil it in some water and it’s ready to enjoy. The challenge is in making sure that it doesn’t go too clumpy. Try adding a squirt of oil after you’ve poured boiling water onto your couscous. Then fluff it with a fork to stop the grains from sticking together.

Mixing some cucumber into your couscous and then adding a few squirts of lemon and lime juice gives it a deliciously fresh twist. You’ll enjoy lovely bursts of refreshment in between each bite of your chicken’s roaring chilli marinade.

Enjoy a Tandoori summer salad

Taste all the flavours you love, without dealing with hours of tidying up afterwards. Whether you’re throwing in spicy peppers and juicy tomatoes or crunchy croutons and carrots, this is the ultimate mix and match side for your Tandoori Chicken.

And then we get to the dips. Some people go for cooling yoghurt or creamy chive sauce. Others add even more spice to their chicken with an Indian tomato salsa. This classic side is super-easy to prepare. For this you’ll need to pick up some Garam Masala (a traditional Indian spice mix) and some cilantro (tasty green leaves that pack a punch) when buying salads.

When you’re ready to cook, just fry some chilli and onion in a pan for 30 seconds. Throw in a teaspoon of Garam Masala and keep frying until your onion is nice and crispy. Then just add in your tomatoes. When everything is nice and hot, serve your salsa with a dash of lime juice and top it off with a few sprigs of cilantro. Then brace yourself for an epically spicy salad.

Melty Mac ‘n’ Cheese

This world-famous BBQ side is one of easiest and tastiest dishes you’ll ever cook. If you’re cooking it from fresh, just mix milk, flour, butter and cheese in a pan.

Once you’ve chosen your herbs, add in some oil and a shot of hot water. Then pour your chimichurri over your chicken after you take it out of the oven for the full experience.

Classic Corn on The Cob

Some sides just carry BBQ onto your taste buds. Corn absorbs every one of those wonderful sweet and sour flavours. As you’re getting to the end of each piece of chicken, you’ll remember that you’ve still got bite after bite of juicy corn to wipe up all that lovely sauce.

PERI PERI Chicken Pieces

PERi PERi Chicken

This chicken is not for the faint of heart. If you only enjoy eating mild chicken, please check out our BBQ, Kebab and Lemon & Herb marinades. If you love chicken that packs a punch (and then some), our PERi PERi chicken is perfect for you.

This isn’t one of those marinades that ‘probably won’t be that spicy’ or ‘should be quite mild really’. Even customers who regularly eat spicy dishes told us that they drank several gulps of milk after trying this one.

Looking for the perfect sides? Here are a few ideas…

Refreshing watermelon, feta and cucumber salad

Sound tricky to make? It’s not. Just get a nice, juicy watermelon. Then chop it into cooling chunks and put in a salad with Greek feta cheese, cucumber and some lettuce. After that, let your taste buds chill out in this Mediterranean oasis after each tantalising bite of spicy chicken. Melt some of the cheese over your meat for extra effect.

A fruity salad like this is a great way to make spicy food easy-to-eat for the kids.

Chilli Chips

Do you feel like there’s no point having spicy chicken without spicy sides? Then go all in. Put your chips in the oven and chop up red and (or) green chillies. Grating them works too. Take the seeds out if you want to remove some their spice. When your chips are nearly ready, take them out of the oven.

Toss on your chillies and put everything back in the oven until your chips are nice and crispy. Add a bit of salt after you’ve taken them out of the oven. Then just stick them on a plate and enjoy at least seven degrees of unprecedented spice alongside your chicken.

Ice Cream for pudding always goes well

Everyone loves ice cream (especially after spicy chicken). There are so many flavours to choose from. You’ve got the traditional ones like vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. You’ve also got the more eccentric flavours like pistachio, black cherry, mango, lemon, hazelnut, and mint. We’ll also give mint chocolate chip and honourable mention too because it tastes so great.

Whatever you choose, scoop after scoop of refreshing ice cream is the perfect ending to a wonderfully spicy meal. Why not let the kids mix and match their favourite ice creams for extra special puddings?

So many stress-free dinners have started with defrosting our PERi PERi chicken.

Chicken Tikka Pieces Box

Chicken Tikka Pieces

Have you ever wondered how Chicken Tikka got its name? Tikka is a Persian (Iranian) word meaning bits. These succulent bits of juicy chicken are loved in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and beyond. The dish is widely popular throughout South Asia and in some Western Asian countries, like Turkey and Azerbaijan. Chicken Tikka is also about to become very popular around your dinner table.

Our team bake these small pieces of chicken to perfection, before marinating them in fresh yoghurt and spectacular spices. Then they freeze them and deliver them direct to your door. So…how are you serving yours? Here are a few ideas to get you started…

Enjoy a cracking Chicken Tikka Masala

Tikka without Masala is a bit like a football match without goals. It leaves everyone a bit disappointed. Making a Masala that hits the mark every time is easy.

Just put some cream and yoghurt in a casserole dish and stir for a few minutes on your hob to create a paste. If you love your dinners spicy, liberally add chillies at this point. Don’t forget the coriander either. If spice isn’t your thing, mango or orange chutney is a great alternative.

Once everything is warm and fully mixed, add in your defrosted chicken and some peppers. Wait about 15 for your chicken to cook through. Make sure it’s absolutely covered in the paste. Then add chopped tomatoes, tomato purée and a cup full of water. Stir everything for a few minutes more and then your Masala will be ready to munch.

Serve with rice and Naan bread to soak up that lovely sauce.

About that rice…

There are so many options when it comes to this essential side.  Classic Basmati rice has enough of a subtle nutty flavour to make your meal extra special, without taking away from your Tikka’s incredible taste.  If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, why not spice your rice up a bit? As you’re boiling your rice, throw in some curry powder, peppers, chillies, coriander or whatever else you think will give your rice that perfect extra kick.

If you’re not such a fan of spice, but you love your veg, why not mix in some cheese and broccoli with your rice? Add a dash of black pepper to liven the broccoli up for the kids.

Wash it all down with an ice cold beer

This one is just for the grown-ups around the table. As all beer lovers will know, Asia has a fantastic tradition of producing the good stuff by the gallon. In India, strong beer and curry go together like tea and toast in the UK.

If you want the full Goan experience, try a bottle of locally brewed Kingfisher. They have grown to become one of the biggest brands in India and their beer comes with a whopping 8% ABV. Other popular brands include Haywards 5000 and Kalyani Black Label.

While European and American beers are also popular in India, why not try a local favourite for a more authentic Tikka?
