I've always loved the sweet, fruity and savory flavors in coronation chicken, but don't always want a cold salad. This recipe uses the same ingredients in a baked chicken that is delicious, especially served over rice. The yogurt marinade makes the chicken very moist.
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in chicken legs and thighs
- 1 1/2 cup yogurt, plain
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2/3 cup mango chutney
- 1 chopped apple
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced.
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper to taste

Directions
- Step 1
Mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, chutney, apple, lemon zest and juice, onion, garlic and spices together thoroughly.
- Step 2
Make 1-2 deep slashes in each piece of chicken so the marinade can penetrate to the bone.
- Step 3
Marinate chicken thighs in a ziptop plastic bag or a bowl for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Step 4
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake chicken skin-side down, turning skin side up after 30 minutes. Chicken is finished when internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, approximately 1 hour.
