Ingredients

Spice Rub
2 t (10 ml) dried tomato, finely chopped
1 t (5 ml) coarse salt
½ t (2.5 ml) freshly ground black pepper
1 t (5 ml) ground coriander 
1 t (5 ml) cayenne pepper
2 t (10 ml) paprika
1 t (5 ml) sugar
2 T (30 ml) flour

Chicken
4 chicken thighs and 4 drumsticks
spice rub (see above)
2 T (30 ml) canola oil
1 T (15 ml) butter
2 medium onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely sliced
1 – 2 fresh chillies, finely sliced
2 oranges, zested and juiced
3 ripe tomatoes, skinned and chopped
2 t (10 ml) chicken stock powder
4 whole cloves

 

Method

Adjust the oven rack to just below the middle and preheat the oven to 180°C.
Combine all the ingredients for the spice rub together and place in a plastic bag. Add the chicken portions and shake to coat. 
Sauté the chicken in the oil and butter over gentle heat until golden-brown. Remove and place in a cast iron pot or casserole dish with a lid.
Sauté the onions in the remaining oil, covered with baking paper and the lid. It will take ± 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chilli and stir-fry for a few seconds. Stir in the remaining spice mix.
Add the orange zest and top up the orange juice with water to make 1 cup and pour in. Add tomatoes, chicken stock powder and cloves and simmer for one minute.
Pour the sauce over the chicken.
Bake covered for 1 ¼ - 1 ½ hours until the chicken pieces are very tender when pierced with a fork.
Serve with rice and garnish with fresh coriander.
