    Oven Baked Garlic Chicken Recipe with step by step pictures. Flavourful garlic chicken cooked in oven till juicy.

    Oven Baked Garlic Chicken Recipe

    Warning: Don't love garlic, please turn back. This recipe is not you. It is filled with garlicky flavour and tons and tons of garlic. Your house will smell so amazing when you bake this. Full of GARLICKY aroma.

    This is a garlic roast chicken recipe, but i have a gravy version of garlic chicken which i love a lot. That is a kind of Indo-Chinese recipe. I will surely post that soon.

    About Oven Baked Garlic Chicken Recipe

    A supreme garlic and chicken combination is richened, mixed with herbs, and cooked to smooth perfection. Garlic powder also works well for this. Garlic, like apple cider vinegar, is believed to stimulate the appetite and aid in growth. Parasites are deterred. Garlics allicin is thought to make the blood of chickens, which the mites feed on,
    taste unpleasant. If you prefer a natural mite repellent, garlic is worth a shot.

    How could such a yummy recipe can be this simple. Yes it is too simple, just a simple marination required. That calls for just blending few stuffs together. The longer you marinate the chicken the better the flavour. I usually do marination the night before and leave it to infuse overnight, then cook it the next day.

     

    Ingredients for Oven Baked Garlic Chicken Recipe

    • Chicken - 1 whole cut into 10 pieces
    • Coriander Leaves / Cilantro - 5 tblspn
    • Garlic - 20 cloves
    • Peppercorns - 1 tblspn
    • Chilli powder - 1 tsp
    • Turmeric powder / Manjal podi - 1 tsp
    • Salt to taste
    • Oregano - 1 tsp
    • Lemon Juice - 3 tblspn
    • Oil - ½ cup

    Chicken :

    Chicken is high in a variety of nutrients, including protein, niacin, selenium, and phosphorus. It is high in a variety of essential nutrients and can be an excellent addition to a well-balanced diet. Because chicken is low in calories but high in protein, it may be particularly beneficial for weight loss if that is your goal.

    Garlic :

    Garlic has a distinct, pungent flavour that, when raw, borders on spicy and, when cooked, borders on nutty. Sulfur compounds, such as diallyl disulfide, contribute to the mustard-like flavour profile. It loses its acrid raw flavour when dried and crushed into garlic powder, making it ideal for seasoning dishes.

    How to Make Oven Baked Garlic Chicken Recipe

    • Make deep slits over the cleaned chicken. Take them in a container.
    • Blend all the ingredients given in the marination list to a smooth paste.Add little water if needed.
    • Pour this over the chicken and mix them well.
    • Leave this to marinate for 6 hours or overnight in the fridge.
    • Take them out of the fridge before few hours, so it comes back to room temp.
    • Preheat the oven to 220 Degree C / 440 Degree F.
    • Take a foil lined tray and spray it with some oil. Arrange the chicken in this and bake it for 15 mins. Now pour off the excess liquid.
    • Now turn the oven to 180 Degree C / 360 Degree F and bake it for 40 mins.
    • Now flip the chicken on other side, turn the oven to 250 Degree C / 500 Degree F,  Bake it for 5 more mins so it gets nice colour.
    • Remove it from oven and serve with any bread or rice.

      @imrose Pouring off the excess liquid will make the chicken go little crispier.

      @Anonymousno it wont work, since there is no binding agent. But if you want to, you can add some rice flour to this, mix well and fry

      Hi Arti. I have made this chicken 3 times already. Its now my favourite marinade for baked chicken . The chicken is so moist and yummy.
      I keep the chicken to bake on a rack over a pan so i dont have to pour out the extra liquid.
