Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks or thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, ground black pepper, salt, and onion powder.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. If you have more time, allow it to marinate for a couple of hours or even overnight for more flavor.
Place the marinated chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they're evenly spaced out.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
For an extra crispy skin, switch the oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to ensure they don't burn.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free juicy baked chicken with your favorite sides!
