Oven Fried Chicken

This is one of my all-time favourite dishes. Chicken is best as a whole and when it is bought fresh, but also chicken pieces do well. I often use a plastic frying bag in order not to let the chicken dry too much.

You can try a number of different spices. Below you can find some of my favourites (for 1 kg chicken).

a) Basic Spice Mix

1,5 tsp salt
1 tsp curry (e.g. tikka masala)
2 tsp paprika powder
1/3 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp tarragon

b) Tomato Marinade

2 tbsp olive oil
1,5 tsp salt
1 jar of tomato puré (70 g)
1 tbsp lemon
3 garlic gloves (crushed)
2 tsp basil
2 tsp oregano
1/3 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp while pepper

Instructions

1. Marinade the chicken for at least half an hour.

2. Heat the oven to + 220C.

3. Put the chicken in the oven.

4. Let the chicken fry at least for an hour. If the chicken is very big, let it fry up to 1 1/2 hours so that the bones will come out easily.)

6. Serve with rice and salad, for instance.
