I was thinking about what to make for dinner, and then realized I had a boatload of chicken, so chicken it is! After a hard day at work, I wanted to make something that was easy! So I paired this baked chicken with some home made potato salad, a recipe which shall come later in the BBQ season! Here is a preview of what this looks like when done!
Chicken is done – isn’t it pretty?
Ingredients
Whole cut up chicken
Spike
Garlic powder
Pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
In the morning, I took out the chicken and washed it up. Then I dried it with paper towel so that the oil would stick to the skin, which is the next thing I did, oil the chicken. Then I covered it with a fair amount of a spice mix called “Spike.”

An hour before cooking dinner I took the chicken out to warm up. Why? When you take meat out and let it warm up a bit, it cooks more evenly. I put the chicken on a foil lined pan with the skin side down.

Dinner is served!
