The secret to Thai Cooking is in the ingredients. The marinade for this Thai Roast Chicken Recipe has all the fiery Thailand ingredients that often appear in Thai cooking.

5ml (1 teaspoon) chili powder (or more according to your burn preference)

Thai Roast Chicken Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 deg C / 350 deg F /gas mark 4.
Prepare the chicken by rinsing it and drying it thoroughly.
Remove the innards/giblets if necessary and place the chicken in a pan or dish for marinading.
Combing the rest of the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and mix thoroughly. I find that it is most effective to combine them in the food processor.
Pour the marinade over the chicken as well as inside the cavity.
Cover and allow it to stand in the fridge for at least 1 hour but 4 hours is ideal.
Move the chicken to your roaster or better still a wire rack that is above the pan because it results in a crispier skin.
Roast the chicken for about an hour and a half or until the chicken is done. You can baste it occassionally if you wish to.
