Citrus Chicken

For this recipe you are going to need:

8 pieces of bone-in chicken

2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp italian seasoning

1/2 tsp paprika

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tsp onion powder

1/4 c olive oil

1 tbsp rosemary

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1 tsp thyme leaves

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

2 oranges

2 lemons

When scoring the chicken, instead of cutting in to the meat, leave the skin on and cut the skin in 3-4 snips. The meat will cook crispy and juicy without drying out.

In a medium bowl, combine the oil and all of the seasonings EXCEPT for rosemary and thyme.

Add the juice of one lemon and the juice of one orange, stir until combined.

Pour your mixture over the chicken that is placed in a baking dish. Of course, if you have time to marinate the chicken for a few hours (or overnight) that is always the best, but it will still turn out great even if you don't.

Add the thyme and rosemary to the chicken.

Slice the other lemon and orange and cover the chicken completely with the slices.

Place in the preheated to 400° oven and bake for an hour or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the juices run clear.
