Citrus oven roasted chicken

I found a roasted chicken recipe that I liked, so I tweaked it a little bit to fit my needs. Some of the seasonings I used, I also used on another chicken recipe but this one is a little different.

Recipe serves 5

Ingredients

1 package chicken drumsticks, bone in skin on

1 package chicken thighs bone in skin on

2 lemons

 2 oranges

fresh parsley (for garnish)

1 small yellow onion, sliced

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons dried parsley

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons paprika

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Add 1/4 cup olive oil to a bowl

Add sugar, dried parsley,garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to bowl

cut lemon in half, squeeze juice into bowl

cut orange in half, squeeze juice into bowl

whisk together, this will be the marinade for the chicken

Add chicken to the marinade and let sit for 15 minutes

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

Slice remaining oranges and lemons

In a 9x13 pan arrange a few lemon and orange slices, as well as onion

Place chicken skin side up in the pan on top of citrus, scatter remaining onion and citrus slices on top

Bake in oven for 1 hour, then remove from oven and allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes to retain the juices.

Sprinkle fresh parsley over top for a garnish, This goes really great served over white rice.
