Tina's Famous Lemon Chicken

Tina's Famous Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:
Chicken – quarters, breasts or thighs or legs
Garlic Salt
Onion Powder
Paprika
Lemons (about 5-6 small ones, per 9 X 13 pan of chicken)

Easy Baking:
Leave the skins on for added flavor and natural juices.
Place breasts in center of pan, dark meat pieces around the sides, skins up.

Sprinkle liberally first with the garlic salt, then with the onion powder and finally
with the paprika. The paprika will add some color to the skin and aid in browning.

Place pan of chicken in oven set at 350 for an hour at least, uncovered.
While chicken is baking, squeeze juice from lemons, removing any seeds.

When chicken has baked for about an hour, pour the lemon juice over the tops of
the chicken pieces and then baste with the lemon juices about every 5 minutes or
so for the next 30 minutes. (I set my timer since I’m normally preparing rice or a
green vegetable to go with the meal during the basting time. I also found that a
small gravy ladle works well for the basting, just slant your pan and the juices will
go to one end and are easy to then collect for the basting process.)

Voila, the easy Lemon Chicken is done!

If serving rice or a plain pasta, the lemon juices can be used for a sauce over the
rice or pasta……yummy!
