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 with yoghurt
Quick dish if you prepare a day before. We liked it because it tasted differently as we used to.
Baked chicken salads
Very delicious and satisfying salads. Especially we liked that bell pepper is baked not fresh. I prepared these salads not once and tried with iceberg salad, and with salads form our garden (salads, rucola, sorrel). Every time it was perfect! And depending on vegetables amount you can prepare this salads for 6 or for 3 people. It’s up to you 🙂
Chicken with Baked Rhubarb
I do as always – I add recipe here only when rhubarb season is over. Even if I prepared this in the beginning of the season. But this dish is suitable for those who like sweet and sour food and for those who like meat with fruits. In the baked chicken we tasted rhubarb only a little bit, and the whole chicken taste was great. Also, I blended baked rhubarbs and served as the sauce – it was really delicious for me and my daughter.
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.
Chicken and rice stew with chanterelles
At first glance it seems that it is simple pilaf with chicken. But lemon and hot chilli sauce gives spicy taste to the dish. I prepared it already two times: first – without mushrooms, because my hubby was at home, the second – with mushrooms, because I was all alone 🙂 Both times it was delicious. Don’t know about other kids, by mine don’t like spicy dishes, so I didn’t even asked to taste 🙂
