Easy Steps to Tender Lemony Garlicky Chicken

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, chicken stock, minced garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and rosemary. If you don’t have oregano and rosemary on hand, you may replace them with a teaspoon and a half of herbs de Provence.

Lay the chicken pieces in a deep pan. Pour the mixture over the chicken pieces. Decorate with the lemon wedges if you want.

Bake for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. The chicken thighs release a considerable about of fat. Spoon the fat off.

Enjoy fall of the bone, tender and flavorful chicken!
