recipe for marinated and grilled chicken in the oven:
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, ground coriander, and turmeric to make the marinade.
2. Place the chicken pieces in the marinade and toss them well to coat them on all sides. Allow the chicken to marinate in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, or you can refrigerate it for a couple of hours for better flavor.
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
4. Place the marinated chicken pieces in a baking dish lined with aluminum foil or greased with oil.
5. Bake the chicken in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until it is cooked through and slightly browned.
6. Before serving the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes to cool slightly.
7. Serve the delicious grilled chicken with rice or grilled vegetables as a tasty main dish.
Remember to ensure that the chicken is cooked until the meat is fully cooked and safe to eat. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of the chicken pieces, so you can check for doneness by using a fork or measuring the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
