Yield 4 People

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 bone-in chicken drumsticks or thighs, or a mix
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 large red or yellow onion, cut into 8 wedges
4 medium red potatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Using a pepper towel in each hand to help grip the chicken pieces, remove and discard the skin by pulling it off. In a 2 gallon zip-locked plastic bag, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), and a hefty pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken, onion and potatoes, seal the bag and gently turn over several times to evenly coat the contents with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours, turning the bag once or twice if convenient. When ready to cook, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Dump the contents of the bag onto the pan, spread into an even layer, then bake uncovered until the chicken registers 175 degrees at the thickest parts, about 40 minutes. If the potatoes and onions brown too quickly on one side, turn them for more even cooking.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was overcooked and the lemon sauce was bland.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. The lemon sauce was a bit too tart for my taste, but that's easily fixed by adding a little honey.

I made this last night and it was delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the bag. The lemon sauce was so good that I spooned it over the rice I served it with.
