Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 190ยฐC (375ยฐF).
-
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted tomato pasta sauce, Worcestershire sauce, grated ginger, brown sugar, crushed garlic, chopped onion, and red chili flakes. Stir the mixture well until everything is evenly combined.
-
Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss them gently to ensure that the chicken is well coated in the sauce. Cover the bowl with cling film and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour. This will allow the chicken to absorb the rich flavors of the marinade.
-
Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a large ovenproof dish with parchment paper. This will help prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup. Once lined, transfer the marinated chicken and all the marinade into the dish.
-
Bake the Chicken: Cover the baking dish with a layer of aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes.
-
Finish Cooking: After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes. During this time, turn the chicken occasionally and brush it with the marinade mixture to ensure an even coat of flavor. The chicken is ready when it is tender, cooked through, and beautifully caramelized with a dark golden brown color.
-
Serve: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and serve hot. For a complete meal, pair your Devil Chicken with Buttered Herbed Rice, a refreshing Pomegranate Mint Cocktail, and finish the meal with a delicious Bread Pudding with Baileys Irish Cream.
Tips for the Perfect Devil Chicken:
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the chicken for a couple of minutes at the end of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
- If you prefer a less spicy dish, reduce the amount of red chili flakes or omit them entirely.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is juicy and tender.
Enjoy this devilishly good recipe at your next gathering and watch as your guests devour every bite of this spicy, flavorful chicken!
