One of our favorite holidays is Thanksgiving and I try to recreate it with this warming, yummy roasted chicken. My kids love to have it with sides of sweet potatoes and green beans. Bonus for parents: leftovers are great for next-day salads.
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
1-2 lbs bone-in chicken pieces (drumsticks, thighs, chicken breasts)
1 tablespoon ghee
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon oregano
Garnish: freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, add all chicken pieces and seasonings and mix well to incorporate. Place chicken pieces evenly onto a baking sheet, not overcrowding and placing them too closely. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Garnish with lemon and freshly chopped parsley and serve alongside a big green salad and sweet potatoes and enjoy!
