  7. Pour the onion juice over the chicken pieces.
  8. Add the fresh thyme leaves, Magic Masala and garlic.
  9. Pour the lemon juice into the marinade and season with salt.
  10. Leave to marinate – if you are short on time 10 minutes will do but overnight works best especially if you are using chicken on the bone.

  13. Arrange the chicken pieces on the rack and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees celsius for 10 – 12 minutes.
