Sheree's Herbal Lemon Chicken Legs and Wings
- 6 large chicken legs
- 6 large chicken wings (cut into 3 pieces); discard tips
- 1 sprinkle of season salt; depends on personal preference (1 1/2 tsp)
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 sprinkle paprika; liberally
- 2 clove minced garlic
- 1 large onion; minced
- 4 large lemons
- 1/4 cup veggie or olive oil; i use veggie
- 1 other herbs can be added such as rosemary, thyme, and sage.... more salt and pepper can be added if desired
- I use a 2 gallon zip lock bag.
- Rinse off chicken pieces.
- I sometime make this with a cut up whole fryer.
- That way everyone has a choice, but in our house we enjoy wings and legs.
- I leave skin on and cut off anything extra.
- I still add these pieces to the pan because they offer flavor and additional moisture for baking.
- Pat pieces dry.
- Put chicken in mixing bowl....
- I LAY MINE IN A CLEAN SINK .... Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, black pepper.... You can use garlic powder now....
- But I put minced garlic in the marinade, so I do not.
- I rub seasoning into the meat by hand..... You can use thyme, rosemary, or sage.
- Put chicken pieces in the 2 gallon zip lock bag... Cut lemons in half and squeeze in bag.
- Drop the rhine from the lemon in bag also.
- You do not need to worry about taking out seeds since the marinade will be tossed.
- Add minced garlic and onion.
- Also add oil.
- Squeeze the air out of bag and close.
- Squeeze bag to coat chicken.
- Place bag in the fridge.
- Can be marinated over night...
- But marinade at least 1 hour.
- I make this often with buttered noodles made with chicken broth, rice pilaf, or a sage based dressing.
- Either use aluminum foil (dull side up), or lightly spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Lay out pieces in single layer.
- Discard marinade.
- Lay pieces where legs and wings are mixed.
- The extra pieces of removed skin can also be placed on cookie sheet for extra flavor and moisture.
- Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes.
