They are juicy, simple to prepare, and great for everyday meals or special family lunches. From rosemary chicken to sweet and savory glazed chicken, each recipe brings a different flavor to the table.
1. Oven-Roasted Chicken Thighs with Rosemary
This recipe is simple, aromatic, and full of rich flavor. The crispy skin, garlic, and rosemary make it a classic and delicious oven-baked dish.
Ingredients
- 8 small chicken thighs or drumsticks, skin on
- 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 1 sprig rosemary
- Coarse salt and regular salt to taste
- 1 cup corn oil
- 1 package broccoli
- Olive oil
Preparation
Lightly season the chicken with regular salt. In a pan, brown the skin side well in the oil. Transfer the chicken to a baking tray with the skin facing up and include some of the oil from the pan.
Add the garlic cloves, sprinkle coarse salt, and place rosemary leaves over the chicken skin. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden.
Meanwhile, cook the broccoli in salted water for about 10 minutes. Drain and lightly sauté it in olive oil. Serve alongside the chicken.
Tip: You can replace the broccoli with another vegetable or even serve it with white rice.
2. Roasted Chicken with Potatoes
This is a comforting oven meal with chicken, potatoes, herbs, and a touch of barbecue and curry flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken pieces, skin on
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- Lemon zest
- Garlic, finely chopped, to taste
- Dried herbs to taste
- 1 onion, sliced
- 5 potatoes, cut into chunks
- Oregano
Preparation
Wash the chicken with warm water and vinegar if desired, then pat dry. Season the chicken and potato pieces with the olive oil, barbecue sauce, lemon juice, curry, lemon zest, garlic, herbs, onion, and oregano. Mix well so everything is coated.
Place everything on a baking tray lined with foil. Cover with foil and bake in a hot oven for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is mostly cooked.
Remove the top foil and continue baking until the chicken and potatoes are golden. Turn them over so they brown evenly on both sides.
Serving idea: This dish goes very well with white rice and creamed corn.
3. Juicy Oven-Baked Chicken
This version uses a sweet and savory sauce that keeps the chicken juicy and flavorful while baking.
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken thighs and breasts, skinless
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- A small amount of honey (about 1/4 cup)
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Salt to taste
Preparation
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, tomato sauce, honey, garlic, oil, and salt to make the glaze. Brush the chicken pieces with the sauce and place them in a baking dish.
Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken. Bake for about 45 minutes, basting the chicken occasionally with the sauce from the dish to keep it moist and flavorful.
Serve with white rice for a simple and satisfying meal.
4. Juicy Roasted Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks
This recipe is rich, savory, and deeply seasoned thanks to garlic, onion soup mix, and chicken broth.
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken thighs and drumsticks
- 2 heads of garlic
- 1/2 packet onion soup mix
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 1 cup water
- Olive oil
Preparation
In a bowl or pot, dissolve the chicken bouillon cube and onion soup mix in 1 cup of water. Add one head of crushed garlic to the mixture.
Grease a baking dish with olive oil. If desired, make small cuts in the chicken pieces so the seasoning can penetrate better. Coat each piece of chicken in the mixture and place it in the baking dish, preferably skin side up.
Pour the remaining mixture over the chicken and drizzle with more olive oil. Scatter the cloves from the second head of garlic, unpeeled if you like, over the top.
Bake at 270°C for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
These 4 oven-baked chicken recipes are easy, delicious, and perfect when you want a homemade meal with lots of flavor and very little fuss. Whether you prefer herbs, potatoes, garlic, or a sweet-savory glaze, there’s a version here for every taste.
