INGREDIENTS
- 4 Split chicken breasts or leg quarters
- 3/4 Cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Crushed or minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Coarse Sea Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme
INSTRUCTIONS
1: Gently pull back the skin on the chicken.
2: Rub the meat with the combination of olive oil and garlic.
3: Sprinkle with sea salt, cracked pepper, dried basil, dried rosemary and dried thyme.
4: Replace the skin back over the meat and repeat steps 2 and 3 if you like the skin like I do.
5: Cover and refrigerate for 45 minutes to one hour.
6: Preheat oven to 375.
7: Bake uncovered for 45 to 60 minutes, or until juices run clear, or until the thick part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.
NOTES
Pulling back the skin and replacing it ensures the seasonings reach the meat and replacing the skin will keep it from drying out like many skinless recipes.
