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

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

Step 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.

Step 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).
