This baked lemon chicken dish includes an easy marinade. Great served over rice to soak up the wonderful buttery lemon sauce.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 4 (6 ounce) skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts, split
Directions
Step 1
Mix butter, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, garlic salt, salt, and pepper together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a baking dish, skin-side up. Pour marinade around the chicken.
Step 3
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Tips
You can use 1 whole frying chicken, cut up, instead of chicken breasts.
