4 peices of chicken..HELP!


I have a yen for some baked chicken. I've eaten too much fish this week.

But here's my dilemna. There is no resident cook here right now, except me...and I am only licensed to Grill.

So..I have 4 peices of chicken from mi amigo, Manuel, who swears it's not fighting c-cks who lost the other day.

Legs attached to thighs, skin on. I am thinking of just putting them into a greased baking pan with whatever....covering with foil..and baking them in my oven at 350 degrees. ??

So far, I think this may fly...but for how long, and what spices, if any. Any braise? Beer/wine marinade? I don't like alcohol, but could make an exception for cooking. I throw the skin away after it is cooked, right?

Of course, I could wait for a Baja-loving cook to wander by... :rolleyes::saint:

Or just have lunch during poker at Ana's in a couple hours...

I figured Nomads would be the place to get an answer. ;)

Yum! Chicken for breakfast sounds great, Roger.

I suggest you use a low-sided pan - like a cookie sheet.
Lay out chicken pieces in pan with skin side up.
Season chicken with salt, pepper, whatever else suits your fancy. I like garlic granules and paprika.
Bake at 350 degrees (preheated oven).

After 15-20 minutes, some of the chicken fat will have melted.
Turn chicken pieces upside down and sorta move them around in that melted fat, then turn to skin side up again. Re-season chicken (lightly).

Pieces can be turned a second time for quality browning - and you can enjoy eating the crispy skin.
Should be ready in about 35 minutes or so.
(if leg/thigh joint moves easily, they're done)

Enjoy.

I like to rub with garlic olive oil, or olive oil with crushed garlic, salt and pepper and then bake as you have described. Terrigon is a good herb to sprinkle on the chicken

Your method of cooking sounds great, I would just add that if you first cook it at 400 for a bit, uncovered and then cover it for the rest of the cooking you will have a browner bird.

Yum.

The old wives tale about red/white with chicken has been debunked, have what you wouild like with it.

You cold also throw in some veggies to cook with your chicken.

Lemon Chicken


preheat oven to 400 degrees f.

heat 1/4 cup olive oil in small saucepan and 8 cloves of minced garlic and cook briefly, do not brown. Off the heat add 1/3 cup of wine and the zest of two lemons, juice of one lemon, some oregano and some thyme. Pour into a baking dish just large enough to hold the chicken. Dry the chicken and place skin side up in the dish and brush with olive oil. Cut the lemon into wedges and place around the chicken. Bake for 40 mins, if it isn't brown place under broiler, then cover with foil for 10 minutes to rest. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the pan juices.

Great recipe DanO. I've been using Italian Dressing on chicken for years. One lady in Baja was even offering me money for the recipe. I finally gave in and handed her a bottle of Wish-Bone Italian dressing and told her "here's the recipe".

I must thank you for your posts. Always kind, usually hilarious, always thought provoking for sure ..

About chicken: Some great ideas presented above .. .. Heres another: Place chicken pieces on top of carrots/celery/potatoes/chayote/zucchini (cut to size) to create a natural grill, all seasoned with salt & pepper on a shallow baking sheet or pan as suggested ..at 325 or 350 for 45 mins or so - turning chicken pieces if desired but no biggie if you get distracted and dont do it! .. how long really depends on size of the pieces .. and again ditto Natalie Ann check the drumstick movement for doneness. The veggies are also delicious!

... looking forward to knowing what/how you did and what you selected as a the beverage/s to complement the meal!

Buen provecho!

That chicken is most likely already past tense... but thought I would put this one up for "next" time...


Gallina a la Mexicana

(Chicken with Mexican Sauce)

1 Fryer cut up
1-3 whole tomatoes cut up
1 clove of garlic, minced
1- medium onion sliced
4-5 mushrooms, sliced
1 small can garbanzo beans
Salt and pepper to taste



Sauté’ fryer in oil until lightly browned. Add tomatoes and crush into chicken drippings to make a sauce. Add tomatoes and crush into chicken drippings to make sauce. Add all other ingredients season.

All some water if sauce is too thick: simmers until chicken is tender (40 minutes)

Sever with rice ….. and what ever else you may wish.

Enjoy...

MUCHAS GRACIAS, ALL!

I have copied all those great baked chicken recipes..and will test each and every one sometime over the next few months. They will make many great dinners and the leftovers should make great boat snacks.

I was famished while first posting this, so I baked my chicken before the replys.
:(
The recipe I tried was way too plain and simple to put up alongside all those culinary masterpieces contributed.

I did manage some beer, some salt, some pepper, and a napkin.

Skins were consumed by Cedric the beach bytch.

I'm going to Mulege today to buy more chicken. ;D

Pompano, Find a "pollo entiro". Saul's has 'em every now and then. Boil it with all your favorite seasonings. It'll be good! Next level? Chicken and dressing!:tumble:

Cypress...have ate a few pollo entiros over the years. And planted the chicken legs feet side up along the garden's edge. Kinda gives the place a 'Baja flare.'

On that chicken and DRESSING. Nope..no dressing on my diet. I have a few pounds to go, kiddo. How about some shrimp gumbo?
