The end result is perfectly cooked, juicy chicken with buttery-crisp, golden-brown skin. It’s comforting, nourishing and low-fuss and there’s minimal washing up as it’s cooked in one pan. Serve Easy Roasted Garlic Butter Chicken with your family’s favourite side dishes – mashed potato and steamed greens are popular at our place, but I’ve provided other suggestions below. Any leftovers can be refrigerated, then reheated the next day, and you can marinate the chicken ahead of time if you like.
What can I serve with it?
Serve Easy Roasted Garlic Butter Chicken with Freezer-friendly Mashed Potatoes, cooked pasta, rice, creamy cauliflower mash, zoodles (courgetti), a green leafy salad or steamed greens.
Can I use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead?
You can, but with a few variations, as boneless, skinless chicken thighs take less time to cook. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) – both conventional and fan. Marinate the chicken as per the recipe and bake for 25–30 minutes until cooked through. An optional extra is to adjust the oven heat setting to grill (broil) and grill the chicken on high for a further 2–3 minutes or until the surface is nicely caramelised. This isn’t essential as the chicken will already be fully cooked, but will help give the chicken some extra colour if desired.
What else can I add to the pan?
Try adding small, halved baby potatoes or Dutch (baby) carrots to the roasting tray at the beginning of cooking time. You could also add a handful of broccoli, broccolini, green beans or asparagus to the tray in the last 10 minutes of cooking time to make this an even easier dinner.
