Jamie Oliver's Chicken in Milk

I never get bored baking/eating baked chicken as there are lots of ways to prepare it! I accidentally stumbled upon this recipe by Jamie Oliver and I was hooked! This baked chicken in milk tasted obsulately fantastic! 

Really simple ingredients....sage leaves, lemon zest, garlic, cinnamon(not in pic) and milk.

Lightly browned the whole chicken in hot olive oil before putting in all the ingredients.

Yummy! Prepared some crusty bread and mopped up the tantalising curdled milk infused gravy.

Roasted Kumquat Chicken

Oooh such a lovely golden glistening roasted chicken leg! This is a dish I could not make it as frequent as I've run out of kumquat jam! Kumquat season is over and not available in the market now, so not able to make some homemade kumquat jam at the moment. But I've still got plenty of pickled salted kumquats in the fridge.  Maybe I could substitute it with orange marmalade or apricot jam  if I am to bake this again :D

Homemade salted kumquats which I preserved for over 3 months :)
