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.

Hi! I'm just learning to cook and I made this recipe tonight for dinner. It was a super hit. I also added a little coconut milk to the red curry sauce before spooning it on the chicken. It turned out yum. And I love the pics! Thanks! I'll try the piri piri chicken next!! Yay!
