This recipe offers a flavorful twist on baked chicken, inspired by Indian spices and cooking techniques.
Combine the cumin, paprika, cayenne, turmeric, black pepper, salt, minced garlic, and juice of the lemon in a mixing bowl.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
Rub the marinade all over the chicken pieces, ensuring it gets into all crevices.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 3 hours for the best flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the chicken inside.
Place the marinated chicken in a baking dish and brush the tops with a little oil.
Use a baking dish that fits the chicken pieces snugly to retain moisture.
Bake the chicken for 20 minutes, then turn the pieces over and bake for another 25 minutes or until cooked through.
Baste the chicken with its juices a few times during baking for extra flavor.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of rice or salad for a complete meal.
