Lemon Chicken

Really good recipe from Simply Recipes....again...  That woman knows what she's talking about.

Lemon Chicken

• 5-6 chicken parts - bone in
• 2 Tbsp lemon zest
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 Tbsp fresh chopped thyme (or 2 teaspoons dried)
• 1 Tbsp fresh chopped rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2-3 Tbsp melted butter
• Lemon slices for garnish

1 Place lemon juice, lemon peel, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, whisk to combine. Put chicken in a bag with the marinade.  Let marinate for 2 hours.
2 Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove chicken from marinade and place in a single layer in a large baking dish, skin side up. Reserve the marinade. Use a pastry brush to brush a little melted butter on to each piece of chicken.
3 Bake for a total of 50 to 55 minutes, until the skins are crispy brown, and the chicken is cooked through.  Half-way through the baking, at about the 25 minute mark, baste the chicken pieces generously with reserved marinade. Let rest, covered in foil, for 10 minutes before serving.
4 Serve the chicken with the juices on the side or a little poured over the top of the chicken.
Serve alone or with steamed rice.

It's just lemony enough, not too much.  Brown rice tastes good with the sauce.  Even Charlotte ate some.  Just a little, not too much.
