Season the chicken with mashed garlic, salt, chili pepper, curry powder, seasoning powder, thyme, soya sauce, and oyster sauce.

Add vegetable oil to the chicken and mix well to ensure the ingredients penetrate the chicken.

Cover the chicken with clean film and allow it to rest for between 30 minutes to an hour or more.

After resting for 2 hours, transfer the chicken to an oven tray.

Use the remaining marinade to rub on chopped potatoes and add them to the oven tray with the chicken (optional).

Bake the chicken and potatoes in the oven at 180° C for about 15 minutes to an hour.

After 30 minutes, flip the chicken to ensure even baking.

Remove the potatoes after they are ready and leave the chicken in the oven for another 20 minutes.

After 15 minutes in the oven, the spicy juicy chicken is ready.
