Easy Chinese Baked Chicken

 

Who doesn’t love a nice piece of chicken? This spice infused baked chicken recipe is sooo amazingly delicious and can be enjoyed with almost any rice dish!  I personally love to serve it with fried rice or chow mein. The recipe only requires a few ingredients; it’s simple but oh so mouthwatering. The chicken is juicy and flavorful. Trust me you wouldn’t regret giving this recipe a try! Each bite is heavenly. A little back-story, I was shopping at my local Caribbean Market and I noticed the Chinese roast chicken seasoning and immediately thought that I need to create a simple baked chicken recipe everyone can enjoy. This seasoning is also excellent for turkey, duck or pork.

Helpful Tips

1. Marinating the chicken overnight always yields the best results, if you can
2. Do not over bake the chicken as it can get dry
3. Make sure to cook evenly on both sides
4. You do not need to cover the chicken while it’s baking
5. No one likes a salty chicken so be modest with salt as the other ingredients do contain a bit of salt as well
