Baked Chicken With Potatoes.

This recipe is loosely based on the ‘bake’ (oven roasted) chicken mom would make for us as part of our Sunday lunch, growing up in Trinidad and Tobago. As mentioned in previous posts, Sunday Lunch was traditionally the biggest meal of the week and included several dishes which still brings comfort to me all these…

Rosemary Roasted Chicken With Brussels Sprouts.

There’s nothing “Caribbean” about this dish, but I felt I had to share the recipe here, as it’s one of my go-to recipes on those cold Canadian winter evenings. Toss everything with a quick marinade/dressing, onto a sheet pan and the into a vibrant oven. Sit back and relax and in 45 minutes, you’ll have…

Simple Herb Roasted Chicken.

There’s something so comforting from not just the taste of a succlent oven roasted (say ‘bake’ chicken in the Caribbean) chicken, but that scent that permeates through your entire house originating from the kitchen. I remember being in Jamaica on vacation and roasting-off a chicken on the 4th floor of the condo complex we were staying in, and 4 floors below on the pool deck one would get the alluring whiff depending on the direction of the gentle Caribbean breeze. So simple, yet so tasty!

Sorrel Pomegranate Roasted Chicken.

I first shared this recipe last holiday season on YouTube and it was one of the best rated videos I did the last quarter of 2017. I guess I’m not alone in my dislike for Turkey, so many people opted to give this Caribbean festive roasted chicken a test drive. As a kid growing up on the islands I always looked forward to when sorrel was in season (usually around Christmas time) as I’ve always been a fan of the juice made from this hibiscus family of flowers. The natural balance of the citrus, sorrel and pomegranate is just awesome as a glaze on chicken (and pork) as you’re about to learn.

Simple Citrus Oven Roasted Chicken.

There’s something so comforting about oven roasted chicken that it’s usually made in some form or the other in my home a couple times a month. Growing up on the islands, ‘bake’ chicken was a Sunday thing, along with macaroni pie, callaloo and other fixings. I still remember the aroma coming out of the kitchen early Sunday morning as we went about doing our weekend chores and the anticipation of that traditional lunch with my siblings and parents.

Oven Roasted Curry Chicken Recipe.

Mom never swayed from the ‘traditional’ way of cooking curry chicken (as done in the Caribbean) when she would sort us out with a good curry and dhalpuri roti on the occasional Sunday morning. While nothing can compare to such a classic method of cooking curry chicken, I’m always looking for ways to change things up a bit. In this recipe we’ll marinate the chicken in a rich yogurt curry marinade, before roasting it in the oven.

Oven Roasted Chicken Drumsticks Recipe.

Simple, Quick and Tasty! Three words which embodies this chicken recipe. I had a request on Twitter a while back asking for a simple but tasty way to do chicken in the oven, on those weeknights when you want to eat well but not spend all night in the kitchen. Though I’ve shared several oven roasted chicken recipes in the past, I went into my personal repertoire, for one I do on the regular for my family. The flavor you get from that hint of ginger, allspice and the sweetness of the roasted peppers, will definitely have your family asking for seconds.
