We all love those recipes that come together in no time. Here are the chicken recipes we pull out when we’re looking for quick and easy — requiring five ingredients or less!

“Shabbos Chicken”

This comes in at four ingredients (okay, five, if you include the chicken), not including the salt and pepper!

• 1 or 2 chickens, cut in eighths (that’s how I buy it)
• salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, to taste
• duck sauce

Place the chicken pieces in a pan. Sprinkle with spices and liberally pour duck sauce over them. Pour a little water in the pan. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 1.5 hours to 1 hour and 45 minutes, depending on how well done you like it. Everyone loves it!

Marinated BBQ Cutlets

Lately I’ve been marinating chicken cutlets in olive oil and Rivky Kleiman’s Big Bold BBQ Spice Mix. It’s incredibly tasty on the outdoor grill or even on a grill pan. I make extra to serve in salad for the next day’s lunch too.

Easiest Grilled Chicken Marinade

I got this “recipe” from my cousin Meira Katz when she made it for us for supper after I had a baby.

The marinade is just olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a cube of frozen basil. I marinate it for about 30 seconds, ’cuz who has time? Works amazing for grilled veggies too. Don’t ask me for amounts, it’s a total eyeballing and forgiving recipe.

Simply Duck Sauce

Here’s my simplest and most delicious chicken, which I’ve probably shared in these pages before.

Slice an onion and a little fresh garlic and place on the bottom of a pan. Add chicken pieces. Smother in duck sauce. Place in the oven and bake for 1.5 hours covered and 0.5 hour uncovered. That’s it!

I make this when I’m having a very hectic Shabbos and just want something very easy. Everyone loves it and can’t get over how simple it is to make!
