I found this recipe at mommyimhungry.blogspot.com and thought I would give it a try. I thought it had really good flavor. I baked it in the oven, but i think you could also grill it. It might take away the lemon herb flavor, but worth a try. My daughter doesn't like chicken on a bone, so I took the meat off the bone and she loved it. Didn't even know it was on the bone.
RECIPE:
2 tbsp. lemon zest
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp. fresh rosemary leaves, finely minced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
4 lbs. of bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, thighs or drumsticks
2-3 tbsp. melted butter
PRINTABLE RECIPE
Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper in a large zipper-lock plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake well to blend.
Place the chicken pieces in the bag with the marinade, pressing out excess air and sealing once more. Refrigerate and let marinate for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and transfer to a baking dish, skin-side up. Brush the top of each piece of chicken with melted butter.
Bake for 50-55 minutes (check the breasts after about 40 mins so they don't dry out), until the skins are crispy and well-browned. Once fully baked, cover loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes before serving. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy.
