AJIKA CHICKEN RECIPE | CHICKEN RECIPES

Welcome to my channel Alla's Yummy Food. Today I'm really excited because I'm making an awesome video for you guys. Something very different and maybe a little bit spicy. I've collaborated with Ajika which is really really cute spicy jars and it's basically like herb and chili paste. It's so so good guys. They've got different variations of medium to really spicy to extra hot if you can handle it of course. of a you know how to say this I can't handle extremely spicy food however my sister and her boyfriend absolutely love spicy food so I'll be using the Ajikas in different sort of variations that I want to show you my favorite chicken recipe what's really really interesting is that Ajika has originated from a small place called Abkhazia which is on the Caucasus between the Caucasus mountains and Black Sea and from their language it's basically like salt and pepper so you don't need to add any more spices when you're going to be marinating your chicken in the Ajika spice so which makes your job super easy especially if you're busy all you want to do is put some rub on top put it in the oven voila your dinner is ready and what I also love about these little adjika jars is that you can use it in anything you can put a little bit into your mayo spice it up you can put it in hummus you can put it into salad so today I'm gonna do obviously that juicy chicken which is a little bit spicy with salad tomato and cucumber and sour cream so you guys very excited to try this and I'm very excited to collaborate with these guys they're a home sort of small business and yeah make sure you check their products out I'll leave their website down below so if you wanted to check out or get some for yourself especially if you like spicy food and you're bored of the chili stuff and you want something else a bit more flavor a bit more you know that kind of feeling then check them out guys now let's get started in a large bowl add your chicken legs you can use any chicken you like you can use thighs or just legs or the entire chicken I'm using the mildest version of a zhika you can use the spiciest one if you wish it's completely up to you the red one goes really really well and we will need about one large tablespoon of course you can use more or less it's completely up to you then add that to your chicken and rub it in really really well with your hands rub it all over the chicken skin and on the other side as well I really love this because I don't need to worry about any other spices salt or pepper this is a perfect combination of everything you need to spice up your food and make it really delicious once you've finished with your entire chicken you can leave it to marinate for a little bit or you can go and bake it straight away next take a baking dish cover it in foil and add any vegetables of your choice I'm using some Mediterranean vegetables I've got some zucchini some peppers red onion and yellow peppers and cherry tomatoes this combination goes really really well and it's so colorful and makes you really hungry so place your chicken onto the tray onto your vegetables this way all the chicken juices will go onto your veggies as well as the fat from the chicken which is so yummy and we're gonna bake this for about 40 to 45 minutes in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit just look at these beautiful colors I promise you as well that your house will smell absolutely delicious guys and girls I have my recipe on my website at aliceyummyfood.com you'll find full ingredients and also directions on how to make this and also you'll be able to find loads of other recipes that I do for my channel and just click through click on the picture and you'll be able to see the whole video with the directions and the full recipe in English and Russian languages next we're going to make our Russian salad so take your cucumbers tomatoes and dill and chop it off nice and fine and we're gonna add everything into a large bowl so I'm going to be using the spicier adjika for this one the red one but the green one goes really really well as well so it's up to you guys depending on how much spiciness you like in your life so add all your veggies together this is one of my favorite salads to eat in spring and summer or pretty much any time of the year it's totally a staple food in my country as well and then we're gonna add the sour cream in a bowl together with adjika I'm only using one teaspoon of adjika chili and herb paste but again like I said feel free to use more or less and then really easy you just put that into your sour cream and mix everything together until it becomes nice and smooth and you'll see that the color will change from white to sort of like pinkish which I really like and you can do loads of sauces with this you can use mayo or hummus like I said anything else then just add that to your salad and mix everything together until it is combined and you will see the beautiful salad is done so we're just gonna set that aside and check on our delicious juicy chicken oh my god guys it smells so good in my house I can't even describe this look at that crispy skin oh my god juicy chicken all those juices from vegetables and chicken coming together smelling so good this is such an easy dinner guys to plate it just use all the veggies that you've roasted your chicken in so it kind of makes your presentation easy just put them on a plate and then drop your chicken right in the
