Baked Chicken Suya
This post is sponsored by Chicken Farmers of Canada.
It’s that time of the year again and yes it always comes by so quickly. Thankfully though, this Baked Chicken Suya is the perfect way to warm up on these chilly days.
Made from chicken that’s raised with the highest of standards by Canadian chicken farmers. Be sure to look out for the Raised by Canadian Farmers logo for high-quality chicken; which is what you’ll need to enjoy this recipe and many more.
Suya is a Nigerian spice mix with a smoky and nutty flavor. I added red pepper flakes to bring even more heat to this #WinterChicken recipe. I know you’ll enjoy it as much as I do!
Serves: 3
Prep Time: 8 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
3 Boneless, Skinless, Chicken Breasts
1 cup Roasted Ground Peanuts, unsalted
1 ½ tbsp Cayenne Pepper
2 tbsp Smoked Paprika
½ tbsp Ginger Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 ½ tbsp Onion Powder
2 tbsp Red Pepper Flakes, (optional for extra heat)
2 Maggi Cubes, or Knorr Bouillon Cubes, crushed
3 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend into a powder about 4 -5 pulses.
Rub olive oil over each chicken breast, then generously cover each side of the chicken breasts with suya spice mix.
Transfer each breast to a non-stick oven safe baking dish or pan.
Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving. Top chicken with a few sprinkles of suya spice mix.
Note: Transfer the suya spice mix into an airtight container; store in a cool and dry environment. You can also marinate the chicken breast overnight before baking.
