Chutney Mayonnaise Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (1 1/2-2 kg) whole chickens
1 (40 g) packet French onion soup
250 ml boiling water
250 ml fruit chutney
250 ml mayonnaise
salt & pepper

Preparation

Rinse chicken,cut into portions and season with salt & pepper.
Place into a large ovenproof dish with a lid.
Mix the soup with the boiling water.
Add the chutney and mayonnaise and mix together.
Pour mixture over the chicken pieces, cover with lid and bake in a 180 degree celcius oven for 1 hour.
No need to preheat the oven.
Remove the lid after an hour and bake further until the chicken browns on the top.
Serve with rice and vegetables or a salad.
Note: I always remove the skin off chicken. If you prefer the skin on then be sure to skim off the excess fat.
Note: If you do not like using whole chicken I suggest you use thighs rather than breast - it is very easy to overcook breast and then it can be dry. Thighs are much more succulent and moist, just remove any visible fat.
