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.

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!

Baked chicken livers with onion and tomato sauce
From the childhood we all know that livers are very healthy to eat, but knowing doesn’t mean that you do it. One day I decided to make chicken liver pate and they were very delicious but I had some liver leftover and started to look for some new recipe. I found it in one of my favourite books and it looked very similar to the dish that my mom used to make when I was a child. So I gave it a try and me and my hubby enjoyed it a lot! Sadly but my kids didn’t understand us and didn’t eat. But anyway now this recipe is one of my favourites, because it’s so quick that for making and eating it I spend less than an hour.
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 breast with curry and lemon peel
This dinner was very delicious and quick and it reminded me the spring when almost every meal was with a huge bowl of salads and a little bit meat for satiety. I baked chicken on electric grill and it was done in 10 minutes. It gave just enough time to chop my salads. I just love to have recipes that are appreciated by my family and at the same time are very quick.
Hearts and carrot stew
If the past time was a healthy recipe, now it’s the cheap one. After all, you need to have all kinds of options. I made this stew for three times because we couldn’t decided we like it or not. The second time I made it, carrots had too strong taste and we didn’t like it. So choose young, crisp and tasty carrots and everything will be fine. Our children do not eat this sort of misunderstandings , so me and my hubby enjoyed it for lunch. And the last time it was so delicious that we ate more than we should. 🙂
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.
