Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks or thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, ground black pepper, salt, and onion powder.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the marinade.
Step 4
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. If you have more time, allow it to marinate for a couple of hours or even overnight for more flavor.
Step 5
Place the marinated chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they're evenly spaced out.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
Step 7
For an extra crispy skin, switch the oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to ensure they don't burn.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free juicy baked chicken with your favorite sides!
