Slash the chicken skin and flesh of the legs and breasts with a sharp knife. Pour the marinade over the chicken and massage into the flesh. Cover with plastic film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours if you have the time.

Step 3

Preheat a char grill or barbecue plate on medium to high heat. When hot, place the chicken, skin side down and cook for 40-45 minutes, turning after 15 minutes, then turning every 15 minutes or until cooked through. Place on a plate, cover and rest.

Step 4

Alternatively, sear the chicken skin side down on the grill plate for a couple of minutes the cook in a preheated oven on 200C for 20-25 minutes.

Step 5

Whilst the chicken is cooking, make the dressing and salad. For the salad, place toasted almonds, pistachio kernals, cranberries, balsamic onions, Coles quinoa and mint leaves into a bowl and stir to combine. For the dressing place 1 garlic glove, 3 small red chillis, juice of 1 lemon, 25ml of rosewater, 2 tbsp of pomegranate molasses, 1 tsp cinnamon, 120ml of oil into a small bowl and whisk to combine.

To serve, plate the quinoa salad on a large serving plate and top with the chicken. Drizzle over dressing and finish with pomegranate seeds and dried rose petals if desired.
