Lemon Chicken
* this recipe calls for the use of an oven
Ingredients
chicken parts preferably breast and thigh (skin and bone in)
2 tablespoons lemon zest ---------> in case you didn't know, that's the lemon skin :)
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
rosemary
thyme
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2-3 Tbsp melted butter
Procedure:
1. Whisk lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper in a bowl. This is the marinade.
2. Cut into each chicken piece about 1/2 inch to let it marinade easier. Or you can also cut the chicken into smaller pieces.
3. Place the chicken pieces into the marinade. Mix well then place in the refrigerator. Let marinate for 2 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 425F or 219C.
5. Place each piece of chicken in a single layer on the baking dish (pyrex works best). Brush the melted butter over each chicken. Cover with foil.
6. Bake for 50-55 minutes. On the halfway mark, around 25 minutes into baking, baste the chicken with the marinade.
7. Remove from oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
8. Pour some of the remaining juice over the chicken.
9. Serve with or without lemon garnish.
10. May be taken with rice or pasta. Enjoy!
** Tip
Check to see if the oven you're using has a timer or not. If not, keep track of the time to avoid the chicken from being burnt.
