Baked Lemon Chickens

4 servings Source yield

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds x Baby Chickens, about 1 ea
  • 2 mediums Onions, Chopped
  • 1 Spring Onion, Chopped
  • 2 Red Chilies, Chopped
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • 1/4 cup Peanut Oil
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice

Make it step by step

  1. Cut the chickens in half along the breast and backbone. Press down on each half to flatten it slightly.
  2. Combine the onion, spring onion, chili, garlic, oil, and lemon juice in a food processor and process until smooth. Spoon the mixture over the chickens; cover and marinate for 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the oven to moderate 350F degrees. Using tongs, remove the chickens from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Place the chickens in a baking dish in a single layer. Bake for 40 minutes, or until cooked and browned, brushing occasionally with the marinade. Serve with rice or noodles, and a vegetable dish.
