Impress Your Wife (and Kids) With This Easy To Make Non-Sweet Chicken Recipe
Since my wife was pregnant with the twins I pretty much took over the cooking in our home. I started with simple recipes and slowly worked my way up to more complex ones. I enjoyed it so much that my wife barely makes dinner.
Here is a relatively simple and fast recipe that you husbands (and wives?) can make to impress your wife and kids.
What you’ll need:
- An Oven
- Chicken thighs, legs (Calculate about two chicken thighs per person or one chick thigh and two legs. If you eat like me then you’ll need to add four more thighs)
- Rectangular tin or Pyrex dish (it really doesn’t matter what you use as long as it is oven safe. Just make sure its big enough to hold the amount of chicken you want to bake.)
- Spices: Paprika, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder
- Place chicken thighs and legs in cooking tray or dish
- Sprinkle with spices
- Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius.
Eat it up. Yum!
Important Notes for absolute beginners:
1. Make sure you know how to set the oven timer so that you don’t end up with overcooked dried out chicken
2. If your oven has different cooking settings, make sure its on “Bake” mode and not on Broil mode.
3. When the chicken is done take it out of the oven (with an oven mitt). Yes this may sound obvious but newbies tend to not be aware of the obvious (“Well how the heck was I supposed to know that I should take it out of the oven.”). If the oven is off and you know that you will be eating dinner very soon then you could leave it in there to stay warm for no more than 15-20 minutes.

Busy Dads – Build A Quality Relationship With Your Kids In Just Five Minutes A Night
Let them ask you anything or talk about anything they want. Make it like an “ask me anything” session where they can ask you about anything no matter how silly. This is a really great way for them to get to know you as their father. My son loves to ask me about all the toys I had when I was little. My daughter asked me about all the pets I used to have, “What type of dog did you have when you were little?”. You don’t have to talk about anything really. If you kids want to just cuddle with you then that’s just as great. It can really get to be fun when your son or daughter asks you about something when you were little and you happen to have photos of what you’re talking about. Just the other day my son asked me about a couple of toys I had when I was little. Remembering that I had pictures of me with the toys I ran downstairs to get my photo album. Its amazing how things or toys in the background of a picture become the main focus of the photo.
Do this every or almost every night for just five minutes (even two minutes is something) and you’ll see the difference that it will make in both your life and your kids.
