Ingredients
1kg Chicken pieces (thighs, breasts, drumsticks)
1/4 cup Butter, melted
1/4 cup Lemon juice (fresh is best)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Dried Italian herbs
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
Optional: Lemon slices, fresh parsley for garnish
Method
Preheat Oven to 200°C.
In a bowl, mix melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
Place chicken in a baking dish. Pour sauce over chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C. Cover for first half of the cook.
Optional: Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley after baking.
Serve: Enjoy hot with your favorite sides (rice, roasted veggies, salad).
Key Points for Success:
Don’t Overbake: Chicken can dry out if baked too long. Use a meat thermometer for best results.
Fresh Lemon: Fresh lemon juice will give the best flavor.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
Basting (Optional): For extra flavor, baste the chicken with pan juices halfway through cooking.
