I know that a lot of people can't believe that there is easy baked chicken recipe out there. I can ensure you that my baked chicken recipe will be truly standby of yours for any occasion. There are few shortcuts that you can apply and that will keep your chicken moist and tasty every time you make it.
1 chicken whole or jointed
1 lemon cut to 8 pieces
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or you can use any regular mustard too
2 teaspoons turmeric or paprika (or 1 teaspoon of each)
1 tablespoon olive oil or any vegetable oil of your choice
salt, pepper to taste
1. Take freezer bag and put the chicken inside, add the rest of ingredients on top.
2. Close the freezer bag and rub the chicken for even distribution of marinade. This works just in minutes.
3. If you have time leave the chicken over the night inside the refrigerator. If you don’t have time leave the chicken outside for 30 minutes or so; it will do the work.
4. Put everything inside baking tray and bake for 50-60 minutes until internal meat temperature shows 180F (82C).
My practical “Twist” or shortcut for this recipe are buttermilk and soy sauce. Those 2 ingredients have the power to tenderize and moisturize any meat in half time. So next time you need to marinade steak, pork chops or even small turkey try to use buttermilk and soy sauce and you won’t be disappointed (use the amounts as indicated above).
