Description

A simple, two-stage baked chicken — floured chicken pieces baked skin-side down until set, then doused in a sharp lemon-garlic-Tabasco sauce and baked again until tender and golden. The sauce can also be doubled and poured over roasted diced potatoes for a complete one-pan meal.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 Cups Oil
  • 1 Broiler or fryer chicken, cut up (or chicken pieces)
  • Flour, to coat chicken pieces
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 Cups Lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp Onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp. Black pepper
  • 1 tsp. Thyme
  • 1 tsp. Tabasco sauce
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. 2
    Pour ¼ cup oil into a 9x13x2 inch baking dish.
  3. 3
    Flour and salt the chicken pieces, then place skin-side down in a single layer in the dish.
  4. 4
    Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. 5
    While the chicken bakes, combine the remaining ¼ cup oil with the garlic, lemon juice, onion, black pepper, thyme, and Tabasco sauce to make the sauce.
  6. 6
    Turn the chicken pieces over and pour the sauce over them.
  7. 7
    Bake another 30 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

Note

This sauce doubles beautifully over roasted diced potatoes — just cut the lemon juice to ¼ cup and increase the oil to ½ cup, and season the potatoes with salt and pepper before roasting alongside.
