Oven Fried Chicken

Intro

I do cook real food, although from looking at the blog so far it would appear we live on cocktails, antipasto and enormous amounts of chocolate :) 

So for the first of many recipes of 'real' food (since tequila and chocolate apparently aren't) here is a chicken ovenbake. I make these a lot because they cook on their own while the chef is socialising with guests :) This is my oldest chicken bake - one I found as a Child Bride suddenly required to produce an evening meal every night! I reckon you could use this as a marinade, use chicken wings or niblets, and throw these on the bbq instead of in the oven. I'd double the marinade quantities. The best way to marinade I know is to put the ingredients into a plastic bag, squish to combine then throw the meat in. Suck all the air out - with a reverse balloon pump thingee of course and certainly not with your mouth ;) - and then just turn the bag over and wriggle the meat apart a bit every now and then. 

Recipe

• 500g chicken drumsticks
• 2 tablespoons of oil
• 3 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
• a few drops of tobasco sauce
• 2 teaspoons of curry powder
• half teaspoon oregano
• quarter teaspoon paprika
• 1 chicken stock cube

Place chicken in an over proof dish in a single layer. Combine all ingredients together, brush over the chicken. Bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes, turn chicken over, baste with any remaining marinade, Bake for another 15 minutes.
