Healthy Garlic Herb Chicken

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:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
  2. Defrost the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Rub the cut side of the lemon all over each chicken leg, squeezing a little of the juice onto the chicken as you go.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Buttery Poultry Blend, paprika, black pepper, and rosemary.
  5. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken, coating all sides. Gently lift the skin to season underneath if possible.
  6. Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for even more flavor).
  7. Place the chicken in a baking dish.
  8. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Spoon the pan juices over the chicken halfway through cooking.
  10. Broil for the last 2–3 minutes for crispy, golden skin.
  11. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
