Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs and drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels to ensure they get crispy during baking.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper.
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl or directly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pour the spice mixture over the chicken, and use your hands to rub it all over, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of one half over the chicken pieces. Cut the other half into thin slices and place them among the chicken pieces on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Juicy Baked Chicken Pieces with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
