📝 Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (approximately 1.5 kg)
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon thyme or rosemary
Potatoes (optional), diced
👩🍳 Preparation:
Clean the chicken: Wash the chicken thoroughly and pat dry.
Prepare the marinade: Mix the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and all the spices.
Marinate the chicken: Rub the marinade all over the chicken, inside and out.
Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (ideally 2 hours).
Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Cook: Place the chicken in a baking dish, add the potatoes if desired, and cover with aluminum foil. Browning: Cook for 1 hour, then remove the foil and let it brown for 20–30 minutes until golden.
🔥 Tips for a successful recipe: Sprinkle a little water or broth in the pan to prevent the chicken from drying out.
Bathing the chicken occasionally with its own juices gives it a beautiful color.
You can add other vegetables such as carrots or onions.
