I've been feeling like experimenting a lot in the kitchen lately so thats what I did with my Easter break. This is a baked chicken recipe thats perfect for cooking in large quantities - parties, dinners etc when you're short of hands to help you to prepare everything.
Ingredients
1 kg chicken drumstick or thighs
Marinade
1 onion
1/2 Teaspoon garlic powder
5 cloves garlic
1 Teaspoon Basil
1Teaspoon cajun spice
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
salt (use a small amount as soy sauce can be salty as well)
Juice of 1 lemon
Mix all the marinade ingredients and then pour over the chicken pieces. Massage the marinade into the chicken pieces a little and then put in into a plastic bag to leave in the fridge for about 7 hours. You can throw the lemon halves you used into the bag to increase the flavour.
Cooking the chicken! :)
Preheat oven to 190 degrees celcius.
Wrap all the chicken with it's marinade in foil and place it onto a roasting tray ensuring that the chicken is in one layer to ensure even cooking. Bake at 180 degrees celcius for about 40 minutes depending on the size of your pieces. When they are cooked through, open up the foil and baste the chicken with the marinade that will be in the foil. leave the unwrapped chicken in the oven a little longer to brown the chicken beautifully and make it a little crispy.
And you're done!

I hope you enjoy it!
