It’s the weekend and we at Kupocity decided use our Oven to learn how to prepare baked chicken.
We happened to have a whole chicken sitting in the freezer thus we decide to have it cooked! We have put together a step by step guide so that anyone can try our recipe.

Ingredients for our Baked Chicken:
- 1 Whole Chicken (we used 800 gram frozen whole chicken)
- Minced Garlic
- Fine Salt
- Ground Pepper
- Green Pepper (1 bell)
- 3 to 4 potato
- 1/2 Lemon
- 3 Carrots
- 1 Sweet Corn
- 1 White Onion
Preparations:
- Use kitchen scissors to cut away the chicken’s back bone, wash and clean whole chicken. Pat dry with paper towel and lay it flat on plate.
- Prepare Chicken Rub, mince 5 to 6 cloves of garlic, and mix together with salt and pepper.
- Apply Chicken Rub evenly onto chicken and let it sit for at least 30 minutes for the flavor to marinate the chicken.
- Cut lemon into slices (half a lemon)
- Prepare and chop the corn , carrots , green pepper , potatoes and wash them.
- Chop and wash a whole white onion.
Assembling the dish:
- Lay the base of the dish with White Onion (to elevate the chicken from the base)
- Place 4 lemon slices on top of the onion to provide flavor to the chicken.
- Place the chicken on top and stuff the remaining lemon around the chicken.
- Add Green Pepper.
- Add Carrots.
- Add remainder white onions.
- Place corn and potato on top.
- Wrap baking paper on top of dish, this is to protect the moisture from escaping so the food won’t dry out in the oven while baking.
Oven Time:
- Pre-Heat the oven at temperature setting is 180 degrees for 15 to 20 mins. (depending on your oven model).Â
- Place dish into oven and bake for 60 mins at 180 degrees.
- After 60 minutes , we removed the baking paper and continue to bake for an additional 20 minutes.
- After the additional 20 minutes, we carefully remove dish from oven and enjoy our meal!
Verdict:
- Chicken is very soft , moist and juicy.
- Chicken was a little too sour. Remedy: Use less lemon next round.
- Carrots and Potatoes was a bit hard. Perhaps could place them below the chicken to soak up the juices in future.
