Baked Chicken Pieces

Chicken Maryland

Baked young chicken Maryland with yoghurt and garlic is delicious to serve with steamed rice.  Get a few pieces Maryland, marinade them with yoghurt, turmeric, salt and garlic for overnight,   Bake in a very hot oven until golden. They are delicious and have delicate flavours, they are excellent served warm or room temperature.  This dish has no sauces, but the creaminess of the yoghurt goes down well with the rice.  A salad or a cooked vegetable dish has to be served to complement the chicken.

  1. Hi Mum,
    We are having this tonight! I misread the recipe and chopped up all the garlic and mixed it in with the yoghurt etc, but smells great baking in oven now. Hope kids eat it! Mel x

  2. It was delish. Thomas fell asleep before dinner and is not going to wake up before tomorrow morning I think, so we will eat the rest cold tomorrow. Lucky, as it is a hot day tomorrow and we can have cold chicken and salad. Mary Rose and Henry ate theirs all.
