Recipe Summary Roasted Chicken With Lemon And Rosemary

I'm always looking for really simple-but-delicious chicken recipes. My friend and colleague Paul Grimes, who is an amazing cook (and a food stylist to boot), gave me this one. Perfect for regular weeknight meals or when company comes.

Ingredients | Baked Rosemary Chicken Legs

1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces

1 onion, cut into wedges

1 lemon, sliced

8 cloves garlic

4 sprigs fresh rosemary

¼ cup olive oil

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Combine chicken, onion, lemon slices, garlic, and rosemary together in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt and black pepper over the chicken mixture; toss to coat. Spread chicken mixture out in the bottom of a baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

The magazine version of this recipe roasts the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes.
