Oven Baked, Lemon / Garlic Chicken
Ready In: 1 hr 40 mins
Serves: 4-6
Yields: 12 pieces
Ingredients
- 6 large chicken thighs
- 6 large chicken legs
- 2 large lemons
- minced garlic
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- cajun seasoning, Butt Kickin' Blacken, Original Recipe
Directions
- 1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare a sheet pan (jelly roll pan) by covering with aluminum foil, adding a rack, then spraying the rack with cooking spray. Don't forget to do this, or you'll end up with a MAJOR cleaning problem, or you might just end up throwing the pan away.
- 2. Wash the chicken, dry, then place, skin side up, on the rack in the pan. Drizzle the juice of about 1/2 a lemon over the chicken. Dust with the spices, and place in the oven.
- 3. Cook for 45 minutes, then flip the chicken over, drizzle more lemon on top, then spice again.
- 4. Cook another 45 minutes, then flip, drizzle with lemon juice, add garlic and a little more of the blacken.
- 5. Cook for an additional 15 minutes of so, until the skin is mice and crisp. Drizzle with lemon juice one more time as you take it out of the oven.
- 6. Total cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken and the temperature.
