Soooooo, only cooking chicken in the oven is fairly new to me, I’ve been doing this for about 3 years now… I’m used to cooking it on the stovetop first then putting it in the oven (which I still do most of the time). Although it’s fairly new I do like it, it’s definitely easier.

The ingredients were super simple, oil, my Li Bon! All purpose seasoning, salt, dried parsley, thyme and cilantro. I mention in the video that you can use another all purpose seasoning if you don’t have mine but you may have to reduce the amount of salt from my recipe because the other all purpose seasoning may contain more sodium than mine. I used thighs and legs for this dish. Guys please make sure you are cleaning your chicken cause I took some nasty stuff off of this chicken… refer to the video below so you can see. I cleaned my chicken with lime and vinegar and I removed some of the fat but left most of it on and I scraped my paring knife across the skin to remove feathers and some yellow substance (not sure what to call it) off of it.

I served this with diri ak joumou and sweet plantains and it was delicious, I ended up making a sauce with onions and bell peppers from the drippings of the chicken but you really could just use the drippings as is, I’m just a little extra sometimes LOL. Whatever you decide to do, you will enjoy this recipe, comment below and let me know if you do.

Notes

Clean chicken with lime and vinegar, trim excess skin and fat but leave a lot of fat on and remove any feathers.

Marinate the chicken overnight if you can.

Make sure you rub the seasoning in under the skin too, not just on top.

You can pour the pan drippings over your chicken and whatever rice you’re serving it with.
