Baked Garlic & Herb Chicken Recipe - Roast Chicken with Garlic, Herb Butter

Last Updated on April 25, 2018

I love experimenting with baked chicken. Not only it taste great but when you are baking or roasting chicken in oven you dont have to bother much about the oil content, because it doesn't need too much oil. So it is partly healthy, but mostly it is just yummy. But this recipe is not completely healthy because it has quite a bit of butter in them and that makes it really really tasty and moist..

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

Preparation Time : 10 mins
Baking Time : 45 mins
Serves : 2

Ingredients:

Chicken Legs - 2
Unsalted Soft Butter - 4 tblspn
Garlic - 4 cloves grated
Red Chilli Flakes - 1 tblspn
Salt to taste

Hi aarthi, love all your recipes. I wanted to ask if you've used normal aluminium foil for baking? And is it safe to use it?
