INGREDIENTS
6 pieces of Chicken (breast or thigh, can be a mix of both)
1/2 cup Lemon juice
1/2 cup Olive Oil
1 whole Garlic head
1 tsp. Salt
3/4 tsp. 7 Spices
3/4 tsp. Cinnamon
METHOD
In a bowl, rub the raw chicken with a cup of vinegar and some ground cinnamon for a couple of minutes, this will help rid the chicken of any smell. Make cuts in chicken pieces (for the marinade to seep in).
Grind the garlic. In a bowl combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, 7 spices, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well. Place the chicken pieces and garlic sauce in a large bowl. Rub with your hands. Cover it with cling film before placing in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours.
Preheat the oven 350F degrees. Before you put inside in the oven add 1 cup of water to the marinated chicken to have more of the sauce after getting it cooked. Bake 15 min on each side. Check the chicken if it is cooked by using a fork and poking it to see if it is soft and browned enough. This is served with fried potatoes and salad
