Zuma Organic

When I do eat chicken, This is usually how I prepare it…

• buy an organic, whole chicken & remove the insides (then rinse the chicken out)
• pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees
• pat the chicken completely dry
• place on a foil lined baking sheet, breast’s in the air ladies! no, you do not need to put it on a rack!
• coat your bird with 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, pepper & preferably Zuma Organic Poultry Seasoning
• place in center of oven for 50 minutes – DO NOT open the oven…as much as you want too, don’t do it!
• you will hear crackling, popping, sizzling and perhaps see a bit of smoke – don’t panic
• after 50 minutes, take out the golden brown bird and let it rest for about 15 minutes

it’s that easy…let me know what you think…

Tired of the same old chicken?  

Try this simple take on a classic.

• 6 chicken thighs (boneless & skinless)
• 1 Tbls Zuma Organic Poultry Seasoning or Dried Thyme & Oregano
• 1/2 bunch cilantro – chopped
• 1/2 bunch parsley – chopped (or any fresh herb)
• 1 cup pecans (try the candied ones from TJ’S!)
• salt & pepper to taste
• olive oil for coating

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  Place the thighs on a baking sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil, DRIED herbs and salt & pepper.  Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.  Remove from oven and sprinkle on the FRESH herbs & pecans.  Cover loosely and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes or until cooked through.

Serve with cous cous or rice because the chicken will make it’s own sauce!
