FEEDS: 4

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• ¼ C. mayonnaise
• 5 cloves crushed garlic
• ½ t. salt
• ¼ t. paprika
• 2 T. chopped fresh parsley
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 chicken, quartered

LET'S COOK

Mix all the ingredients, save for the chicken pieces, in a bowl. Drop in the quartered chicken and smear it evenly with the mayo mix. Cover and refrigerate for at least2 hours. Overnight is always best.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Place the chicken, skin side up, on a shallow baking pan. Scrape any remaining sauce from the bowl and distribute evenly over the chicken. Bake, uncovered, for 55 minutes. For additional color, broil for a few minutes to give the chicken a golden brown coating.

MORE IDEAS:

This is a great recipe for skinless chicken as well. Use the mayo as a base for any combination of herbs and spices that interest you. The mayo guarantees a moist final dish.
