Baked chicken is an easy weeknight dinner. How about adding a crispy German baked chicken recipe to your dinner rotation? Hähnchenkeulen is a crispy German chicken recipe that has a flavorful sauce made with curry, paprika and other spices. This baked chicken recipe was super easy to prepare, tender, crispy, juicy and packed with flavor.
When I first saw the finished product, I honesty thought I had burned it. But no! The seasoning blend darkens as it cooks, taking on a deep flavor. The taste of this crispy baked chicken was truly unique.
To make this German-style baked chicken you need bone-in chicken pieces, olive oil, sweet paprika, regular paprika, curry powder, garlic powder, dried or fresh rosemary, ketchup and honey. The seasoning blend is stirred together and then rubbed all over the chicken. The seasoned chicken is then baked in the oven until cooked through and crispy.
I served this high-protein chicken dinner with hot sauerkraut with bacon and onions and crisp asparagus. (Check out the health benefits of protein.)
Cuisine: German
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 35 to 45 minutes
Total Time: 40 to 50 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 - 8 bone-in chicken pieces (I used leg quarters)
Seasoning Blend
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika or ground cayenne, to taste (I used paprika)
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or dried rosemary (I used fresh rosemary)
- 1 teaspoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon honey
Here's how to make it:
- Combine all the seasoning blend ingredients in a bowl.
- Stir to combine.
- Put the chicken into a baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub the chicken all over with the seasoning blend. (You can use different chicken pieces, but it will affect cooking time. Chicken is cooked through at 165 degrees F internal temperature on a food thermometer.)
- Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for about 35 to 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. (I basted it occasionally with the pan drippings.) Serve. Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
