A Delicious and Simple Chicken Seasoning

This seasoning recipe was given to me by my mother-n-law.  She was cooking for my husband and I and was baking some chicken pieces. I of course was watching her every move! Ha ha! Just trying to see how she did things. When she went to season the chicken I was surprised it was this simple. The smell coming from the oven while it was baking was so good! Mouth watering really! And it tasted just like it smelled! I don't typically like to eat the skin on drumsticks, but this recipe was delicious!! From then on this was and is the only way I season my baked chicken and chicken in the skillet. It is perfect! Now I know why my hubby isn't too big on a lot of herbs, he is used to simple seasoning. :)

Baked Chicken


Ingredients
  • Thawed chicken pieces with skin. (Frozen pieces will do, but you will need to drain some of the juice off during the baking time or else the chicken will be soggy on the bottom.) 
  • Garlic Salt (includes garlic powder, salt and parsley)
  • Black Pepper (in a hand held grinder is the best, but fine-ground is ok too, just be careful you don't put to much. That is unless you like a big kick!)

Directions: Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Place thawed chicken pieces on a foil lined baking sheet that has a shallow lip. You don't want the juices from the chicken to run of the edge. :) Drumsticks you can just lay however, but do the breasts and thighs upside down. (The "meaty" part face down.) Next, take your Garlic Salt and sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken. Then grind some Black Pepper onto both sides of the chicken. (Amount is determined by your personal preference.) Place in oven and bake for 1 hr. and 10min. Flip all the chicken over after 45 min. of cooking. They are done when golden brown and the skin is a bit crispy. Enjoy! 

P.S. Sorry, I don't have a photo, but a close resemblance would be of my friend's photo here. Which her photo is of a recipe I gave her very similar to this one,  just different seasoning. Check out her blog and all her wonderful recipes!
