For ulam tonight, I made baked herbed chicken. This is by far the ultimate recipe for lazy cooks. There are some days that you just don't want to exert any effort with making dinner.
To make the herbed chicken, combine the following ingredients in a small bowl:
Chopped garlic
Equal parts dried rosemary, oregano and thyme (or any herb you like)
Salt and pepper
Vegetable oil
Liquid seasoning
Place a huge sheet of aluminum foil on top of a baking dish. Rub chicken with the above mixture. You may add baby potatoes together with the chicken, the potatoes will absorb the rub really well and would cook at the same time with the chicken. Seal foil and bake at 350 degrees. If you're like me who prefers falling-off-the-bone, very tender chicken, bake for at least 1 hour, sealed in foil, then open foil and bake 5 minutes more to brown skin. (Be warned: your kitchen will smell heavenly as the chicken bakes) I used spring chicken for this recipe. If you are using regular-sized chicken, baking time will be longer. My mom bakes her chicken for 2 hours! Clean up is a breeze, the foil protects the baking dish from the gunk that will otherwise accumulate from the chicken's juices.
