Bengali Five Spice Chicken & Vegetable Traybake

Bengali Five Spice chicken and vegetable traybake with potatoes, peppers, red onion, green beans and lemon.

🍗 Bengali Five Spice Chicken & Vegetable Traybake

This Bengali Five Spice Chicken and Vegetable Traybake is an easy all-in-one dinner with juicy chicken thighs, golden potatoes and colourful vegetables. Our Bengali Five Spice blend is briefly warmed in oil before coating everything with fragrant whole-seed flavour.

Once assembled, the oven does most of the work and there is only one tray to wash.

  • 3 tbsp vegetable or rapeseed oil
  • 2½ tsp Bengali Five Spice blend

  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 200g green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey, optional
  • Salt, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

⏱ Timings

  • Cooking: 40–45 minutes
  • Serves: 4

🍳 How to Make a Bengali Five Spice Chicken Traybake

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C fan.
  2. Heat the oil gently in a small pan. Add the Bengali Five Spice and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, honey and salt.
  3. Place the potatoes in a large roasting tray, add half the spiced oil and roast for 15 minutes.
  4. Add the chicken, pepper and red onion. Pour over the remaining spiced oil and turn everything until coated.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes, then add the green beans and turn the vegetables.
  6. Cook for another 10–12 minutes until the chicken reaches 75°C at its thickest point and the potatoes are tender.
  7. Rest for 3 minutes and serve with lemon wedges.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

Serve with yoghurt, mango chutney or a cucumber salad. Any leftovers are delicious cold in wraps or reheated with rice.

✨ Why This Recipe Works

Giving the potatoes a head start ensures they become golden, while adding the beans later keeps them bright. Warming the seeds first spreads their flavour through the oil.
