When preparing food for children, cooking chicken might be challenging. However, you can transform basic chicken into a delicious and nourishing dish that your entire family will enjoy with the appropriate flavour and cooking technique. In this blog article, we'll demonstrate how to prepare flavourful oven-baked chicken using BBQ rubs, as well as offer some advice and recipe suggestions for cooking chicken dishes that are suitable for children.

 

Benefits of Roasting Chicken with BBQ Rubs in the Oven

Why use BBQ rubs on chicken roasted in the oven? Here are some of the reasons:

  • Without the use of thick sauces or marinades, BBQ rubs give the chicken flavour and depth.
  • Compared to frying or grilling, baking chicken in the oven is a healthier and more practical alternative because it uses less oil and requires less attention.
  • You may adjust the flavour of the chicken with BBQ rubs to fit the tastes and preferences of your household.

Try Flaming Coals Clucking Mad (no artificial colours or flavours, MSG-free, and gluten-free) and Atomic Chicken Charcoal Chicken Rub, two well-liked BBQ rubs. To make your own unique rub, you can even experiment with different mixes of herbs and spices.

 

Tips for Cooking Kid-Friendly BBQ Chicken

The following advice will help you get the most out of your barbeque rubs:

1. Pick chicken of the highest quality. If possible, try to find organic or free-range chicken, as these varieties frequently have better flavour and tenderness than regular chicken.

2. Dry off the chicken.

4. Season the chicken generously with the Flaming Coals Clucking Mad seasoning. Massage the rub into the chicken with your hands, making sure to cover all sides and crevices. This allows the tastes to enter the meat and form a flavorful crust.

6. Wrap the pan in aluminium foil.

7. Allow the chicken to rest before baking it. This allows the rub to mix with the chicken and aids in even cooking.
