  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. Combine chicken
  3. onion
  4. lemon slices
  5. garlic
  6. 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.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear
  8. 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh
  9. near the bone
  10. should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
