I used a whole chicken which I quartered and baked it on at oiled rack at 200C fan forced for 50 minutes though I did leave the skin on and the chicken was nice and moist with the outside being crunchy. When I went to make it I discovered I had no cumin left so subbed chinese five spice and we really enjoyed this especially the DH who is not at all keen on cumin. Thank you Sharlen-W, made for Healthy Choices ABC Tage game.

I wasn't sure how cumin would taste in chicken crust so I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. As I was only preparing a 4 ounce chicken breast, I had to reduce the baking time by more than half. the crust, while tasty, wasn't as crispy as it would have been had it baked the entire time but it was still quite good. I will certainly make this again.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
