Healthy Garlic Herb Chicken
INGREDIENTS:
2 FFF Chicken Legs
½ Lemon
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2 Teaspoons Minced Garlic
1½ Teaspoons Buttery Poultry Blend
½ Teaspoon Paprika
¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper
¼ Teaspoon Salt
½ Teaspoon Dried Rosemary (or 1 small sprig fresh rosemary)
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Defrost the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
- Rub the cut side of the lemon all over each chicken leg, squeezing a little of the juice onto the chicken as you go.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Buttery Poultry Blend, paprika, black pepper, and rosemary.
- Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken, coating all sides. Gently lift the skin to season underneath if possible.
- Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for even more flavor).
- Place the chicken in a baking dish.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Spoon the pan juices over the chicken halfway through cooking.
- Broil for the last 2–3 minutes for crispy, golden skin.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
