Amazing Roasted Chicken with Marinade

Sharing is caring!

You will be surprised how easy to prepare this chicken. It is a feast for the eye and the tummy. The pictures do not do justice to reality. I will post better ones as soon as possible.

Start with a small bowl in front of your spices and herbs. Mix all the marinade ingredients until well combined. Then spread all around the chicken of your choice. This marinade works with any cut of chicken as well as a whole chicken. Once the marinade is well spread all around keep the chicken in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes.

The recipe for the marinade has many items, if you are missing a few do not worry or try to substitute with something similar. Garlic powder can be replaced with 2 crushed garlic cloves. Onion powder can be replaced with a large grated onion, do not forget to squeeze out and discard the water of the onion.

I generally slice couple of potatoes, onions and garlic cloves and sprinkle them with some olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary and thyme and bake them too until crispy and well done.

I serve the chicken and the sides with a rice pilaf with orzo and a shepherd’s salad.

This is our New Years Eve dinner. I tend to skip turkey as it is never as juicy.

Have a lovely Season and a very happy new year.
