Ingredients

How to make it

  • Trim any excess fat or over-hanging skin from the chicken pieces, cut 3-4 slashes into the top of each piece and place it into a large Ziploc bag.
  • Pull the herbs from the stems and finely chop, add this into a small bowl with the minced garlic and remaining ingredients and stir to combine. (Some lemons can be very tart, so adjust with more olive oil and seasonings to taste.)
  • Pour the dressing over the chicken and mix so the marinade is rubbed into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least an hour or up to 4 hours. If you want to do this the night before, leave out the lemon juice and add it 1-4 hours before cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 400F convection or 425F reg. oven. On a greased roasting rack over a lined baking sheet, place the chicken and any remaining marinade over top. To stop the fallen bits from burning and smoking add some water to the bottom of the pan. (Tip: take the chicken out of the fridge before pre-heating the oven, to let it come to room temp. before cooking).
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken registers 165F internally, near the thigh bone. And Enjoy!

    YUM!!! The chicken was nice and juicy.I followed the recipe but added some basil and parsley to the mix. I have the fresh herbs growing and they have to be used.I chopped all together and poured it over the chicken which i had in a zip lock bag. Left it in the fridge for 1 and 1/2 hour then took it out about 1/2 hour before cooking. We ended up BBQing it and it was so good, i used chicken breasts. Thank you Shona for the delicious meal we had:))) This is a keeper and will be made often...
