I decided to make a special Jubilee meal for my family to celebrate the festivities. So what better than Jamie Oliver’s ER Diamond Jubilee Chicken? It is an update on good ol’ Coronation Chicken and it’s yummy! A bit of work does need to go into it and be careful when you get the chicken out of the oven as I spilt hot chicken fat on my pale brown brogues.
I did make some adaptations. I used more chicken thighs as my dad is a bit of a meat fiend and doesn’t ever think there is enough meat! I also did not put turmeric in as my brother is allergic to it, so mine wasn’t as yellow as it should be. I also used crushed chillies as didn’t have any chilli powder but that was fine. And I didn’t put fresh chillies in as my mum doesn’t like food too hot!! Despite all this it was lovely. It is tangy and the fresh pineapple and cucumber makes it feel healthy!

| The final dish! |
The chicken skin bit does sound a bit weird but it is really tasty! And it is easy to do. I used cashews rather than almonds. The skin comes off easily and the result is so crispy!
I served it with new potatoes and a salad of little gem lettuce, radishes and tomatoes.
We had a glass of Cava to toast the Queen with a strawberry popped in.
For dessert we had scones, jam and clotted cream. I bought the scones (blush) as I am rubbish at making scones. Does anyone have a good recipe for scones?
