A piece of grilled chicken always tastes good! Both in warm weather and in cold weather. But how do you ensure that your chicken remains nice and juicy, but still nice and crispy? Well, follow these little tips and you will create a perfectly grilled chicken from your oven! Especially with the delicious chicken herbs from our herb shop :-)

STEP 1

First let the chicken come to room temperature for about 2 hours. Then cool the fillet again with ice (make sure you use a plastic bag so that the chicken does not get wet). Due to the temperature difference between the legs and the chicken, the chicken will remain juicier.

STEP 2

Now pour a generous dash of olive oil (I use the fruité vert from Valdition, because it is a little spicier) on the chicken and make sure that the olive oil is everywhere on the chicken. Now add the chicken herbs. I usually use the chicken spices with smoked paprika. I personally like it best on grilled chicken. You can still distribute a large spoonful of herbs, up to 2 spoons, on the chicken. Make sure the herbs are well distributed everywhere.

STEP 3

In the meantime, I put a lemon in boiling water and let it boil for a few minutes. The idea is for the lemon to become warm from the inside. After a few minutes, remove the lemon from the boiling water and cut it in half lengthwise. Now put the two halves in the chicken. This will ensure that the chicken is gently steamed from the inside by the lemon. This way you get a soft and subtle lemon aroma in your fillets.

STEP 4

Now place your chicken in a heatproof oven dish. We are now going to put the chicken in a preheated oven at 150°C. Make sure the legs point forward, towards the oven fan. This way, the heat from the oven falls on the bolts first, and they are baked a little faster. Due to the temperature difference between the legs and the fillet, the chicken is now fried nice and juicy and crispy. Leave the chicken in the oven for 1h30.
So, now your chicken is ready. Wonderfully tender and juicy! A true feast with fries, lettuce and tomato. Or for the lovers with applesauce ;-)
