My hubby and I both like baked chicken from our childhood – rubbed with salt, peppers and garlic. I tried a few recipes, but every time agreed that our favourite is still the same – the one from childhood. Until now! After we tried this recipe, we don’t want that traditional anymore. We baked chicken by this recipe maybe five times or more, but I just can’t make good photo of it. Sorry about that, but anyway I really think you should try it and think you will be it too.
This chicken has a mild lemon taste. It is a little bit spicy and hot, but it’s not so hot because my kids skill eat it 🙂 The seasoning mixture in here is just perfect for us.
Rotisserie style baked chicken
Time needed:
Yields: 4 servings
Calories: 323 kcal / 1 serving
Ingredients:
- 1 big chicken
- 2 tbsps. butter, room temperature (I use a little bit more)
- 1 lemon, cut in quarters
- 1 onion, cut in quarters
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 1/2 tbsps. oil
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 2 tsps. dried basil
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1 tsp. paprika powder
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne
Directions:
- Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
- Place onion, lemon and garlic inside the chicken cavity. Then close it with a wooden skewer.
- With fingers make cavity between chicken skin and breast. Rub butter in there. This won’t let dry out the chicken breast.
- In a bowl mix all the seasonings and pour oil. With this mixture rub all over chicken. Then put chicken in a cold place and let marinate. We like to marinate for night or even more.
- Preheat oven to 230°C.
- Put chicken in a baking dish breast side up. Bake about 1 hour, or while inner temperature reaches 80°C.
- Take out from the oven and let rest for 10-20 minutes.
- Enjoy!

Chicken in the cream and paprika sauce
One more easy and simple, as a lot of others, chicken dishes. I decided to try something new, because I”m a little bit tired to prepare chicken in a cream sauce and all the time overeat. This recipe is a little bit similar, just new seasons gives the new taste. And really don’t remember, we overate or didn’t 🙂
Smoked chicken breast and broccoli salads
When my mother on the weekend told me about the salads that she tasted at work, I was sceptical. And when she decided to prepare it for us, I was afraid (our taste is very different). But I’m glad that she did it, because we liked it a lot. It’s better to say that grown ups liked it, because my kids didn’t like onion and broccoli. Mayonnaise doesn’t make these salads healthy but for a quick dinner they were very good.
Lemon chicken
Chicken is quite often prepared for lunch or dinner at our house, so it’s not surprise that I try to find new recipes with it. Till now I haven’t tried chicken with lemon. But this recipe is with mild lemon taste and is not very sour, so all my family enjoy it.
Chicken with oregano and onions
Very juicy, fragrant chicken. Even little eaters can easily chew it. I tried both, chicken and turkey, and both tasted incredibly good.
Chicken, marinated in a sweet chilli sauce
We love chicken, but it’s very hard to find good chicken marinade to bake it on the grill. And know I know that it’s not the fault of the recipes, it’s because we a lot of time overbake it. The last time we baked chicken on the grill I was walking around the grill and watched that no one overbaked it 🙂 I looked strange, but… what can we do if we want to taste food good 🙂
