BAJAN BAKED CHICKEN
Dave and I enjoyed a trip to Barbados in February and were impressed with the Bajan cuisine. Traditionally Bajan chicken is deep fried or baked and it tastes very good. We understand that not many Sundays pass in a Bajan household without chicken in the oven or on the stove along with the aroma of fresh herbs and local vegetables in the air. This Bajan Baked Chicken is such an easy dish to make. It is also moist, tasty and healthier than the fried version!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Pour the chicken stock into the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the onion cubes in the stock and spread out in the pan. Smear the Bajan Seasoning under the skin and on top of all 12 pieces of chicken. Lay the chicken pieces in the pan skin side up. Place a cube of butter on each piece of chicken. Sprinkle the lemon zest, thyme, chives, salt and pepper on each chicken piece. Pour lemon juice on each piece of chicken.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes. Then reduce the oven heat to 375-degree F and bake for another 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. I like to serve the chicken with a green salad with chopped red pepper, fruit (such as pineapple) and a poppy seed dressing. Enjoy! Serves 6-10.

Steps:
- Rinse and dry the chicken pieces and put them into a shallow glass dish.
- Put the allspice, peppercorns, and cinnamon stick into a spice grinder and grind to a powder. To a full sized blender add the onion, peppers, scallions, garlic, scotch bonnet, thyme, lime juice, olive oil, butter, and ground spices. Blend to a puree; add some water if it is too thick. Pour this over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 1/2 hour before you cook it.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Put the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large, oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season it with salt. Brown the chicken on both sides, then place the pan in the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve garnished with cilantro leaves.
THE BEST BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS
The downfall of most baked chicken breast recipes is the long time in the oven that dries out the lean meat before it can fully cook through. We've solved that problem with a couple of secret weapons. The first is white wine added to the baking dish, which creates steam. (While we think it's worth using wine, you could substitute stock or even water.) The second is a piece of parchment paper placed directly on top of the chicken to lock in the moisture during baking. The result is the best boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are plump and juicy, with a minimum of hands-on time. A bunch of parsley and lemon slices infuse the dish with fresh flavor and the seasoning is neutral enough that the chicken can be used for a variety of different meals. Serve it alongside vegetables and grains, shredded into soup, spiced up for tacos or chopped on top of salad. Feel free to switch up the herbs and citrus if you have leftovers in the fridge to use up.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the parsley in the center of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with the lemon slices. Pour the wine around the parsley. Brush the tops of the chicken with the olive oil and season with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the lemon slices. Cut an 8-by-10-inch piece of parchment and place it on top of the chicken.
- Bake until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on a digital thermometer, 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. The chicken can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Preheat convection oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt and Creole seasoning. Place chicken in a broiler pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove chicken from pan. Pour water into the pan, while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add more water if needed to dislodge the browned bits; serve alongside chicken.

Tips:
- Use a whole chicken for a more flavorful dish. If you prefer, you can also use chicken breasts or thighs.
- Make sure to wash the chicken thoroughly before cooking it.
- To achieve a crispy skin, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning it.
- Use a flavorful marinade or rub to enhance the taste of the chicken. Experiment with different combinations of herbs, spices, and citrus fruits to find your favorite.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature for a short period of time to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
- Baste the chicken with the marinade or rub every 20-30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Baked chicken is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for any occasion. With a variety of marinade and rub options, you can create a chicken dish that is tailored to your taste preferences. Whether you prefer a crispy skin, tender meat, or a combination of both, baked chicken is a great choice for a delicious and satisfying meal.
