10:53:14 AM | I just tried this recipe over the weekend and it was a big hit with my family. It gives boring old chicken a little zip!
SPICY OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN
2 TBS lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground tumeric
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
4 chicken thighs
4 chicken drumsticks
2 tsp olive oil
I substituted the legs/thighs with split chicken breasts.
1. In a small bowl combine lemon juice,tumeric,paprika,garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper.
2. Loosen chicken skin slightly and rub spice mixture under skin. Place drumsticks and thighs (skin side up) in shallow roasting pan) Combine remaining tumeric and oil, brush on chicken. Cover and chill 2-4 hours.
3. Bake uncovered, in a 400 degree F oven for 40-50 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 180 degrees F.
I mixed all ing. and brushed on top of skinless breast meat. I baked for 60-70 min. depending on size of split breast portions.
