Roasted Lemon Pepper Chicken step by step
- Rinse and pat dry your whole chickens (recipe can also be used to cook only 1 chicken, my family eats ALOT of my cooking so I’m making 2 chickens today !) lol 😂.........
- Place your chickens in a large baking pan........
- For this recipe I normally don’t measure out the ingredients, I just sprinkle everything evenly over both sides of the chicken, then rub it all in, including the cavity, then I place the minced garlic on top of the chicken, topped off with some sprinkled parsley flakes.........At this point you may refrigerate the chicken overnight so it has time to marinate fully........
- Roast chicken(s), uncovered, in a preheated 400 degree oven for 1 hour 15 minutes.......Baste every 30 minutes........
- Let cool, then serve with your favorite side dish and enjoy 😉!!! You can also serve with my Firecracker Red Potatoes as your side dish !!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁.
Place chicken breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Squeeze the remaining lemon over chicken; rub with remaining spice mixture. This allows the juice to stay inside and penetrate the chicken as it cooks. Now take the lemon pepper and rub the chicken all over coating it well. Gently lift chicken skin and drizzle olive oil and lemon juice mixture under the skin.
