The combination of lemon and herbs, along with loads of garlic, help make this easy baked chicken extra-flavorful. It's a great dish to serve for an everyday family meal, or make it for Sunday dinner.
Ingredients:
* Juice of 2 lemons, about 5 to 6 tablespoons
* 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil or canola oil
* 1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
* 1 teaspoon dried leaf parsley
* 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
* 6 cloves garlic, chopped
* 1 chicken, about 3 1/2 to 4 pounds, quartered*
* Fresh ground black pepper
* Salt
Preparation:
Heat oven to 375°.
Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, herbs, seasoning, and garlic.
Wash chicken and pat dry; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss the chicken with the first mixture; arrange in a roasting pan. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, turning about halfway through. When chicken is thoroughly cooked, juices will run clear when pierced with a fork.
