Baked Chicken

This is my recipe for baked chicken. I always get compliments on this dish so I decided to add it to my blog. It is simple to prepare but takes about 2 hours to cook so you will need a total of 2.5 hrs for this meal. It is worth it though!!

What you need:
A picnic pack or pack of 5 leg quarters. (you can use any chicken really just not boneless breasts)
1 (140z) cans of chicken broth
2 tablespoons of minced garlic
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon cajun seasonings (optional)
Extra garlic salt and cajun seasonings to taste.

Preheat the oven to 350
Take a large baking dish with tall sides (so that the liquid does not fall out) and put one can of chicken broth in the bottom. Depending on the size of your baking dish you may need 2 of them. If so, just split the recipe in half for each dish. Mix one tablespoon of the minced garlic, one tablespoon of the cajun seasoning and one teaspoon garlic salt into the broth. Then place the chicken into the broth. What I like to do is dip the top into the broth and then flip it over and place it on it's bottom so that both sides of the chicken are coated with the flavor. Pour the remaining chicken broth over the chicken. Next, sprinkle some cajun seasonings and garlic salt on top of the chicken to your liking. Cover with foil and put into the oven. Bake for 2 hrs. Every 30 minutes take out and baste so that the top of the chicken is not dry. Uncover for the last 30 minutes.
