I love chicken, and I know I’m not the only one. In fact, for me, the safest thing to order at a restaurant is always chicken. It rarely ever disappoints. Whether it’s fried, roasted, grilled, or stewed, chicken is delicious.

If you have time on your hands and are looking to spice up the way you eat chicken at home, this post is for you. Like anything else, it’s very hard to go wrong when you’re making chicken if you follow the recipes to the latter. Here are a few recipes that you should try out.

  1. Lemon and herb chicken

This recipe is an imitation of that which is offered at Galitos. It combines the aroma of rosemary and the sour taste of lemon to bring together the perfect combination.

Ingredients

  1. Chicken cut up into pieces
  2. Salt
  3. Soy sauce
  4. 2 lemons- freshly squeezed
  5. Garlic
  6. Ginger
  7. Rosemary leaves
  8. Two tablespoons of oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix up your chicken, salt, soy sauce, lemon, garlic, ginger, and rosemary leaves together.
  2. Cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator for at least four hours so that the marinade can mix well. Make sure to marinate in the fridge. Marinating at room temperature can allow dangerous bacteria to grow and lead to foodborne illnesses.
  3. Turn on your oven, and preheat it to 375 degrees
  4. Once done, place the chicken pieces on the oven pan and let it sit for approximately 45 minutes
  5. Serve hot.
  1. Honey glazed chicken

For those that lean towards sweeter marinades, then the honey glazed chicken is for you. This recipe is almost addictive. It combines the sweet taste of honey, with some salt, to bring together a perfect blend of flavour.

Ingredients

  1. Chicken cut to pieces
  2. 3/4 cup honey
  3. 1/2 cup soy sauce
  4. 4 large garlic cloves, minced or finely grated
  5. 1 Tbsp ginger, peeled and finely grated

 Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients: honey, soy sauce, grated garlic cloves, and grated ginger.
  2. Place chicken pieces in your marinade and mix. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
  4. Arrange chicken skin-side up, so chicken pieces are not touching. Add enough of the marinade to just coat the bottom of the baking pan.
  5. Let it grill for approximately 45 minutes-1 hour
  6. Serve hot.
  1. Fried chicken

This recipe is for KFC lovers. If you’re a fan of breadcrumbed chicken, then why not spend time making some at home? It might be time-consuming, but the results are worth it.

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 2/3 tablespoon salt
  3. 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  4. 3 tablespoons paprika

  7. 1 large egg
  8. 1 chicken, cut into 10 pieces (2 wings, 2 legs, 2 thighs and 2 breasts each cut in half to make 4 breast pieces)
  9. Vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. Put flour in a bowl with all the herbs and spices and mix well.
  2. In a second larger bowl beat your egg together, then add the chicken pieces for 20-30 minutes
  3. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture on all sides, then shake off the excess coating.
  4. Add oil to a deep fryer or a large pot that is at least 5 inches high so that the chicken can be fully submerged.
  5. Heat the oil to 350 degrees and fry in small batches for 15-18 minutes.
  6. Remove the chicken from the oil and blot it on a paper towel.
  7. Serve hot.
