Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Chicken pieces (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. This helps in making the skin crispy once roasted.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
Zest the lemon over the spice mixture and then cut the lemon in half.
Place the chicken pieces on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin side up.
Rub the spice and olive oil mixture all over the chicken pieces, ensuring an even coating.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken. Slice the other half of the lemon and place the slices among the chicken pieces on the baking sheet.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with your favorite Whole30-compliant sides.
