6 servings chicken (use 4 short tutos and 2 breasts)
2 onions
For the marinade: lemon juice
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons water
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
A pinch of saffron
1 tsp tandoori masala (if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, I could use garam masala, the original recipe has chicken masala, but I don't know the taste of that mix and I omitted the spicy ones because of the children)
Chili pepper to taste (I also omitted it)
For the crust 3/4 cup of nuts (use almonds, walnuts, pistachios, European hazelnuts and American hazelnuts, use whichever you like!)
41/2 tablespoons honey
I mixed salt with coriander seeds, pepper, cumin seeds and sesame (one teaspoon of each and only half of pepper)
Cilantro or basil or the green part of the scallion for garnish
Join me and let's see how to make Chicken in a crust
Instructions:
Step 1
Place the chicken pieces and the onions cut in a thick feather in a bag with all the spices of the marinade, in addition to the water, oil and lemon juice, close and shake so that it is even (use the same bag as the chicken) and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
Take the Dukkah dressings and grind them in a mortar, mix them with the nuts cut or ground into large pieces (tip toast the spices for a minute beforehand to release oils and aromas)
Step 3
Cook the chicken with the onions in a baking dish for 35 minutes at 200 degrees with the skin facing up.
Step 4
Remove from the oven, add the honey to the mixture of spices and nuts until it forms a paste with which the pieces of chicken are painted, re-enter the oven for 5 to 10 minutes until it is browned and a crust remains.
Step 5
Garnish with the green part of a finely chopped scallion (I did it with coriander and pomegranate seeds, you can do it with basil too)
