Hey there, fellow food lovers! If you’re anything like me, weeknights can sometimes feel like a culinary rollercoaster ride—chaotic, thrilling, and slightly messy. That’s why I’m thrilled to share with you my go-to recipe for Chicken in Sight. This dish is not only delicious but also a lifesaver when you need something quick and satisfying after a long day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg chicken
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Spices to taste (e.g., paprika, cumin)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: First things first, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). This step is crucial, so don’t skip it—your chicken needs a hot seat to roast perfectly!
- Mix It Up: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped onion, and lemon juice. Sprinkle in your desired salt, pepper, and spices. Give everything a good toss until the chicken is nicely coated.
- Get Baked: Transfer the seasoned chicken to a baking dish. Spread it out so each piece gets a fair chance to crisp up. Pop it in the oven and let it roast for about 40-45 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once out of the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then serve it up however you like—over rice, with a light salad, or just on its own.
Notes
- Don’t Stress About the Mix: If your sauce looks a little clumpy, don’t worry—it’s all part of the magic!
- Leftovers: This dish is perfect for meal prepping. Save those leftovers for a delicious lunch; it tastes even better the next day!
- Get Creative with Spices: Feel free to use your favorite spices or even add a dash of hot sauce if you want some heat!
