Delicious Baked Chicken for Kids

This recipe is suitable for kids who don’t take spicy food at all because there is no grounded black pepper or paprika like most baked chicken recipe.

unbaked chicken

Ingredients:
1 Whole Medium chicken without feet, head and wings.
2 Medium Potatoes, cleaned and cut into cubes.
1 Large Onions, cut into 8 pieces
1 Whole lemon, skewered with a satay stick

To Marinade:
1 small cup extra virgin olive oil
A dash of Italian Herbs
A dash of Garlic Powder
A dash of Salt
3 tbsp Oyster Sauce
1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce

Here’s how I marinated the chicken. Firstly, I mixed the Oyster sauce and the Light Soy Sauce in a small bowl; put it aside. Then I massage the chicken with the extra virgin olive oil; give the chicken a good massage. :D After that, I rub the sauce all over the chicken. Sprinkle some Italian Herbs, Garlic Powder and the Salt all over the chicken; don’t forget in the cavity too. Lastly place the marinated chicken in a plastic bag and leave it in the fridge from 6 hours or overnight.

To bake, heat up the oven at 200′C. Lay the potatoes and onion in the baking dish, pour 1/2 cup of water so that the potatoes won’t dry up. You can add other vegetables like pumpkin,carrots or cherry tomatoes.

Place the chicken on the potatoes and don’t forget to stuff in the Lemon in the chicken cavity. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil if you do not want your chicken to get burnt like mine! Bake for 1 hour.

If you want the chicken skin to be slightly burnt, open the foil and let it bake for another 10 minutes. That would give the chicken skin some tan.

Here is how mine look like coz I did not cover it with the aluminum foil in the first place! I excused myself coz this is my first time baking chicken. :lol:

My children loves this dish A LOT. That is what matters most. :D
