Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Bone-in chicken parts (e.g., thighs, drumsticks, breasts)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 whole Lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
Pat the chicken parts dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to form a herb marinade.
Pour the herb marinade over the chicken parts and use your hands to evenly coat each piece. Ensure that the marinade gets under the skin for maximum flavor.
Arrange the chicken parts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
If desired, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve crispy golden skin.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
