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!

Sesame chicken with garlic sauce
Easily prepared chicken with a mild taste of sesame. My family liked it. Just don’t make mistake like me – don’t fry chicken on a very high heat – it burns very quickly 🙂 But chicken was good – baked but not overbaked, tender and juicy. And the garlic sauce is very easy, but my hubby liked it a lot 🙂 As always in my family – the easier the dish, the better my family evaluates it.
Chicken, marinated in yoghurt
I looked for good chicken marinate for a long time. And when i finally tried this, I knew that this is what I was looking for. First time we baked on the grill chicken chunks on skewers and it was delicious. The next time I prepared chicken roasts and I think I over baked and the meat was a little bit too dry. But I know what I did wrong and the next time I will do everything good 🙂 And for sure I will prepare this marinate more than one more time.
Chicken Piccata
I adore lemon in all dishes, maybe except in yeasted buns 🙂 And I am very happy that my family feels the same. Long time ago I prepared chicken Piccata by Forelle recipe. This was also great, just there is sauce more and lemon more 🙂 I guess the best would be the combination of my and Forelle recipes – more sauce and lemon juice in moderation.
Chicken and zucchini pie
I can say that this is almost the same as Zucchini pie with tuna just tuna changed to chicken. Also I can say that I found out it only after a few times I baked this pie. Their taste are very different. They both are favourites in our family. Just now I bake with chicken more, because my kids don”t eat tuna, but pie with the chicken eats one of my kids.
Chicken and rice salads with curry
I decided to prepare something new for our already boring quick menu. This dish is very quick, if you do like me – boil chicken a day before. My hubby commended. I asked him maybe the dish is so good because almost all the week we ate what we had on hand? But he assured that no and ate almost everything, leaving just a few bites for my next day lunch… You can enjoy these salads and cold, and warm.
