Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Rosemary image

I'm always looking for really simple-but-delicious chicken recipes. My friend and colleague Paul Grimes, who is an amazing cook (and a food stylist to boot), gave me this one. Perfect for regular weeknight meals or when company comes.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • 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 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
