Instruções

Prep:

Preheat the oven to 400F (205C), and position the oven rack one level up from the middle position (top third). Grease a baking tray with oil.

Trim the chicken pieces of any excess fat and pat dry with a paper towel. Generously season the chicken pieces with salt and place them in the baking tray, skin-side up.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and the juice of 1 lemon. Distribute the mixture generously over the chicken pieces. Cover with foil.

Bake:

Once the oven is preheated, add the covered chicken pieces and bake for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and reduce the oven temperature to 375F (190C). Cook for an additional 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven to test the internal temperature, where dark chicken pieces have reached 175F (80C) and white (breast) 165F (74C). If ready, remove from the oven.

Serve:

Remove the chicken pieces from the baking tray onto a serving dish and squeeze the remaining lemon over the top of the hot chicken pieces.
