Simply Delicious Herbed Chicken Recipe
So I borrowed a chicken recipe from Simply Delicious, SA’s Blog Awards Winner in the Food & Wine category. I’ve got to say that it turned out to be one of the tastiest chicken dishes I’ve ever cooked! Here is how I did it…
First I prepared all the ingredients which cost less than R100 from the Spar up the road.
Preparation is key. Write that down.
- 4 chicken leg portions
- 1/2 cup Olive oil
- Juice of 2 Lemons
- 1tbsn Dijon mustard
- 2tbsn Chopped Parsley
- 1tbsn thyme leaves
- 1tbsn chopped Sage
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- Salt & Black pepper
I mixed everything you see above into a bowl and stirred it up with a fork until the mustard and olive oil were completely fused. Then I drizzled it over the chicken leg portions and left it to marinade for about 30 minutes while the oven heated up. Be sure to turn the chicken a couple of times so that the marinade is absorbed – you don’t want to miss a spot!

Initially I was going to braai using the twin-fire method I used here, but instead I grilled the food in the oven for about 30 minutes and then turned on the fan setting to make the skin slightly golden brown.
mm... mmm... mmmm... Perfection!
As you can see it came out brilliantly. And it tasted even better than it looks! I washed it down with a well-matched glass of Meerlust Pinot Noir – just right with grilled meats like chicken or salmon.
