OVEN GRILLED CHICKEN RECIPE

If you live in Nigeria, you are probably familiar with the Chicken sold at Shoprite-I feel the Shoprite at Circle Mall makes the best varieties of Chicken and I usually don”t mind driving there to get some. Soon I got tired of driving there and realising that it was not fresh out of the oven/grill and decided to make my own so I can enjoy it just the way I like it!… this oven grilled chicken tastes almost the same if not better than the Shoprite one (lol), I made it for my in laws, they loved it! I make it every time for my family! If you watch my weekly vlogs you would have seen it enough! Let me show you how to make it-don’t forget to click HERE to SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube Channel so that you get all my videos immediately I make them.

INGREDIENTS
5 Chicken quarters
1 Red Onion
1 teaspoon Cameroon Pepper
4 tablespoons Suya Spice
2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon crushed Ginger
2 Seasoning cubes
1 tablespoon Thyme
1 tablespoon Curry
3 Green Chillis
3 tablespoons Olive Oil

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 400 degrees-I just leave my top grill on at the highest setting since my cooker does not have numbers on the oven.

In a blender/procerssor, blend all the ingredients together, except the chicken 🙂

Wash and dab the chicken dry with a kitchen towel or just leave to drain.

Add the blended marinede into a big bowl and add the chicken, rub it all over the chicken.You can place the chicken in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes, overnight or cook immediately. I made mine immediately and it was still flavourful.

Place the marinated chicken in a baking tray, skin side down first and place in the middle rack of the oven for 15 minutes, keep checking the chicken to make sure it does not burn.

At the 15 minute mark, I reduce the heat and flip the chicken. I also use a cooking brush to apply a bit of olive oil and suya pepper on each side of the chicken, this is just to intensify the flavour.
