Ingredients

2 Tbsp Lemon zest
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves, finely minced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2-4 lbs of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks
2-3 Tbsp melted butter
Thinly sliced lemons, for garnished

Directions

1

Combine lemon zest, juice, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper in a large zipper-lock bag; add chicken. Marinate for 2 hours.
2

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and transfer to a baking dish, skin-side up, reserving the leftover marinade. Brush the top of each piece of chicken with melted butter.
3

Bake for 50-55 minutes, until the skins are crispy and well-browned. Halfway through baking, pour the remaining marinade over the chicken pieces in the baking dish. Once fully baked, cover loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes before serving. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with lemon slices and serve.
