Lemon-Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken , cut into 8 pieces
• 1 onion , cut into wedges
• 1 lemon , sliced
• 8 cloves garlic
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 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.

3. 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).
