Ingredients
1 whole organic chicken
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 Tbsp garam masala
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 Tbsp fine salt
½ lemon
Method
1. Rinse the whole chicken, then drain in a colander, cavity facing downwards. Once drained, place the chicken in a dish.
2. Heat the coconut oil if it is solid (it shouldn't be hot, just melted), then transfer to a bowl. Mix in the garam masala, garlic, ginger, turmeric and salt. Pour over the bird and massage into the skin. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight.
3. Transfer the chicken to an Instant Pot or air fryer and insert the lemon in the cavity. Cook at 180°C for 45–55 minutes (the usual store-bought raw chicken is just over 1 kg, which will cook in about 45 minutes). Start with the breast-side down and flip the bird over halfway through. This results in succulent breast meat. Allow to rest for 10–15 minutes before carving and serving.

Hailee Steinfeld Shares Her Poblano and Corn Quesadilla Recipe and Talks Her ‘Chaotic' Cooking Style (Exclusive)
"This is one of those easy, satisfying recipes that came together on a whim one night," the Sinners actress and Angel Margarita founder Hailee Steinfeld is "a little chaotic in the kitchen," she tells PEOPLE, "but in a fun way." "I listen to music. I taste everything as I go and I usually have a drink in hand," says the Sinners star. Steinfeld, a California native, didn't grow up cooking a ton, "but as I got older, I realized how much joy there is in creating something from scratch — especially for the people you love," she says. "For me, the kitchen has become a space of creativity and connection. It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to feel good." The actress, who married Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in May, shares a poblano and corn quesadilla recipe in this week's issue of PEOPLE that encapsulates her casual cooking style. "This is one of those easy, satisfying recipes that came together on a whim one night. We had a mix of leftovers that would come together perfectly for it," she says. "It's a crowd pleaser, and perfect for slicing into triangles and sharing. It reminds me of nights with friends around the kitchen island, barefoot, music playing, margaritas in hand." Steinfeld likes to pair it with her canned cocktail brand's Angel Margarita Lime flavor or the Ranch Water can. "The lime has this beautiful balance of bright citrus and smooth tequila. These flavors cut through the richness of the cheese and perfectly bring everything to life. The ranch water is a little lighter and more refreshing, so I'll lean toward that if I'm adding guac, salsa, or even some street corn on the side. I love serving everything family-style, with bowls of added fixings. It's relaxed and festive, just like Angel," she says. Steinfeld suggests warming the tortillas in a dry pan before assembling the quesadilla. "Sometimes I'll add a little butter and sprinkle some parmesan cheese (trust!)," she adds. "It creates this perfectly golden, crispy crust on the outside that's honestly the best bite." Hailee Steinfeld's Poblano & Corn Quesadillas 6 medium-size poblano chiles 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil, divided 1 medium-size white onion, thinly sliced 1 1⁄2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears) 4 oz. cream cheese, softened 1⁄4 cup sour cream 1 tsp. kosher salt ½ tsp. black pepper 8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (about 2 cups) 8 (10-in.) flour tortillas 1. Preheat broiler with a rack 6 inches from heat source. Arrange poblano chiles on an aluminum-foil-lined large rimmed baking sheet; broil until blistered and charred, about 10 minutes, flipping chiles halfway through cooking time. Transfer charred chiles to a large ziplock plastic bag. Seal, and let steam for about 10 minutes. Peel skins from chiles; remove and discard stem and seeds. Cut chiles into thin strips, and set aside. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in corn; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned in spots, about 4 minutes. Add chile strips; cook, stirring often, until softened, 2 minutes. 3. Reduce heat in skillet to low; stir in cream cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper; cook until cream cheese is melted and well-combined. Remove from heat; add Monterey Jack cheese, and stir until melted and smooth. 4. Evenly spread about 1⁄2 cup of chile mixture on one-half of each tortilla, leaving a 1⁄2-inch border around edges; fold tortilla over to form a half-moon shape. Heat 1 1⁄2 teaspoons oil in a separate large skillet over medium. Place 2 quesadillas in skillet, and cook until browned on underside, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently flip each quesadilla; cook until other side is browned, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining 2 1⁄2 tablespoons oil and 6 quesadillas. Serve immediately with your favorite salsa and/or sauces. Serves: 8Active time: 45 minutesTotal time: 55 minutes Read the original article on People
