Herb Chicken

• total time: 1 hour 13 minutes

Ingredients

4 chicken leg quarters

3 tablespoons tomato paste

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons duck fat

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano), chopped

1 teaspoon sumac

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 large onions, thinly sliced

1-2 lemons, thinly sliced

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, mix together tomato paste, olive oil, duck fat, minced garlic, fresh herbs, sumac, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning paste.

Place the chicken leg quarters in a large bowl and coat them evenly with the prepared seasoning paste.

In a baking pan, spread the thinly sliced onions and lemons on the bottom. Place the seasoned chicken leg quarters on top of them.

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven at 375°F for 25 minutes.

After 25 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach at least 165°F (74°C).

Once done, let it rest for a few minutes and top with cilantro.
