Ingredients

• 8 pieces chicken thighs and drumsticks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the chicken thighs and drumsticks in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and fresh lemon juice, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken.

Step 4

Using your hands, toss the chicken to ensure each piece is well coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces, skin-side up, on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer without overlapping.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes to lock in the juices before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a burst of freshness.
