This is a great dish. It’s actually inspired by a Donna Hay recipe that I’ve tweaked a bit. I gave it a go as it’s something I wouldn’t usually cook.
If the dhal is soaking up too much liquid, just add a little more water. Feel free to take the skin off the chicken, though the crispy skin is absolutely delicious!
A tip: If your oven hasn’t make the skin crispy, pop it under the grill for 5 minutes. Just watch it doesn’t burn!
