8 delicious chicken recipes from Ottolenghi

by Katie Russell

published on 19 June 2023

Nothing beats a good chicken dish, whether it’s crispy fried chicken, a succulent roast, or a light salad. But if you’re looking to try something a bit different – with herbs and spices that will provide a welcome twist on beloved classics – we recommend the following recipes from Ottolenghi (and his famed Test Kitchen). They’re delicious dishes and surprisingly easy to make, too.

Ottolenghi’s Roasted Chicken with Jerusalem Artichoke and Lemon

by Yotam Ottolenghi, Sami Tamimi

In this roast chicken recipe, the succulent meat pairs beautifully with nutty artichokes and zesty lemon. It’s perfect for a dinner party or Sunday roast.

Forget everything you thought you knew about ‘lemon chicken’. This crispy fried chicken recipe pops with the flavour, as it is marinated in lemon paste and freshly squeezed lemons. The end result? A lighter, more refreshing dish.

This twist on a typical chicken pie marries slow-cooked chicken with a rich and crunchy sweetcorn crust – much lighter than the standard mash topping. The ultimate comfort dish.

Chicken with Caramelised Onions and Croutons

This one-pot casserole dish bursts with flavour, as it combines chicken with caramelised onions and earthy spices. We recommend serving with Greek yoghurt for a creamier flavour.

Looking to spice up your roasts? This easy traybake certainly packs a punch. Berbere is an Ethiopian spice blend that has a real kick to it – so bear that in mind when seasoning the chicken!

by The Ottolenghi Test Kitchen Team, Yotam Ottolenghi, Noor Murad

Combining rotisserie chicken with chillies, herbs and blue cheese, this is a rich, spicy chicken bake like no other.
