There is something about coming into the kitchen and smelling chicken cooking. My family would probably welcome oven baked chicken five times a week. Sometimes the budget dictates chicken more than once a week! Once you realize the oven can do your work and save you time, there are other ways to cook that bird!
Ordinary Oven Chicken needs cut up chicken, one-half cup olive oil or vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange chicken in a baking pan. Brush with oil and liberally pepper and conservatively salt the chicken. Bake for about 20 minutes and brush with oil again. Continue until golden, the skin is crisp and it is tender, approximately 25 minutes more. Serve hot, warm or cold.
Lemon Oven Chicken calls for juice of two lemons (limes are an interesting change), 1/4 cup (or more) olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic salt, paprika, dash of chili powder, if desired. Combine all the ingredients and bake chicken as outlined in previous recipe.
Barbequed Chicken in the Oven is good for days when you don’t want to light charcoal! All you need for this one is a bottle of your favorite barbeque sauce. You will be surprised to see the variety available at the supermarket today. Pick out something different but that still sounds appealing to your family. Proceed as instructed in Ordinary Oven Chicken. Don’t brush on the sauce until after the chicken has been in the oven twenty minutes. Great served hot and very good the next day for a cold picnic lunch.
