Brown Bag Cajun Chicken
- 1 chicken, cut into pieces (or you can buy all drumsticks or wings etc)
- 1-2 tablespoons oil
- salt and pepper
Spice mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Pinch of chilli flakes, dried thyme and oregano
- A paper bag
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 220C/428F. Line a baking tray with parchment and brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake chicken for 40 minutes, turning over halfway through. Additional note: This is fantastic if you roast some sliced up par boiled potatoes rolled in oil, butter and polenta in the oven at the same time-they may need a total of about an hour depending on how big the pieces are.
Step 2 - Mix all of the spices together and place in the paper bag. Take the cooked chicken pieces and shake them around in the bag to coat. Serve with lemon wedges and salad or baked vegetables.
