When I learned about this recipe, I started making it for dinner. But it’s actually perfect for any time of the day. You can serve this at brunch, lunch, or even if you’re having early dinner. Everyone will love this flavorful chicken dish that will remind you of home.
Our friend over at She Wears Many Hats has this to say about this recipe:
“Fresh lemon juice, grated garlic and dried thyme combine to make this Easy Garlic Lemon Thyme Chicken a real winner for any night of the week.”
I don’t know with you, but chicken has always been one of my comfort food that’s not really dessert. Any chicken dish that allows me to savor its flavor is something that brings me back to the thoughts of home when Mom used to cook chicken just to effectively shut me up.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Bertolli olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, grated/minced
1 tablespoon McCormick dried thyme
1 teaspoon Morton salt
1/2 teaspoon McCormick ground black pepper
3 pounds Tyson bone-in chicken pieces
Instructions:
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper in a large zip-top plastic bag.* Add chicken pieces; seal bag and turn to coat. Place in refrigerator and marinate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 450-degrees F.
Arrange chicken, skin side down, in a single layer in an oven-proof skillet, baking dish or pan. Pour marinade over chicken.
Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, turn chicken to skin side up and continue baking for a mother 15 minutes or until chicken is done.

Quick Tip: For easy prep ahead of time, combine the marinade then cover and refrigerate until ready to marinate the chicken. I recommend only marinating the chicken for a maximum of 2 hours.
Thanks again to She Wears Many Hats for this amazing recipe.
