Garlic Butter Chicken

Nothing does it better than some succulently, delicious perfectly cooked chicken on a Sunday after church in the afternoon or evening for dinner. For me Sundays are for Christ, for family and perfect food. We’ve been fed spiritually and physically we need to be fed too. So here is a perfect chicken recipe fit for a Sunday. Good thing is, you can marinate overnight, cook chicken in the morning while preparing to go to church. Leave it covered tightly with foil on a cool place then when you get home you’ve got chicken ready. You are left to prepare maybe rice, roast potatoes and some nice crunchy colourful salad to go with your chicken.

1 tablespoon dried parsley

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190 C/375F/ Gas 5.
2.In a large bowl combine the butter with the crushed garlic,herbs, ginger and garlic salt.
