Yield:
1 roasted chicken

Ingredients

  • 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

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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 at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
