Time 3h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 lemons, juiced
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic salt
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 (6 ounce) skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts, split

Steps:

  • Mix butter, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, garlic salt, salt, and pepper together in a bowl or resealable bag. Add chicken breasts and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a baking dish, skin-side up. Pour marinade around the chicken.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly. The lemon sauce was also very good. I will definitely be making this again.
