Ingredients

4 Chicken thighs or a mixture of legs and thighs
1 lemon quartered

For the Marinade

4 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon juiced
2 garlic cloves crushed
½ teaspoon dried rosemary or use about 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Mix together all the ingredients for the marinade. Coat the chicken in the marinade and leave in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Spray a little oil on a baking tray and place the chicken and the lemon quarters on the tray.
Bake in the oven at 200C for 30-40 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through and the skin crisp. If you think your oven will burn the outside of the chicken then cover it in some foil and take it off halfway through the cooking time.
Let the chicken rest for five minutes after taking it out of the oven.

Notes

For a stronger lemon flavour grate some of the lemon zest and add it to the marinade.
