Baked lemon chicken leg in Italian herbs

It has been a while since I posted an entry on this cooking blog. I would love to spend time experimenting different dishes and updating the recipes on my blog. However the reality is ever since I went back to full time work, I am struggling to get dinner done everyday. I have to jump off my seat (literally) when it is 6pm and mad rush to the childcare to pick up my son before going home to cook. Still, I am glad on some days when I have mood to cook, the dishes aren't that bad. Sharing a simple baked chicken dish I tried today. Loved how nicely baked the chicken skin is and lemon juice makes it extra yummy!

Here's the recipe I have referenced from - roasted lemon herb chicken. What I loved about the recipe - the ingredients are easy to get and preparation time is short. I could pop this into the oven and started washing up my dishes.


Ingredients
2 chicken legs
1 tsp Italian herbs
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper 
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 lemon
1 Tbsp olive oil

Recipe
1. Preheat the oven at 180 degree celcius.
2. Mix the Italian herbs, salt, black pepper and garlic powder in a bowl.
3. Pat dry the chicken legs with kitchen towel and spread the mixture all over the chicken legs.
4. Cut the lemon into half. Juice half of it and add olive oil to it. Pour it over the chicken. The remaining half you can cut into slices and place it around the chicken.
5. Bake for 35 minutes or until the juice runs clear.

    1. There will be some splattering but not messy. I don't cover it when I bake. :)
