Description
A flavorful and crispy roasted chicken dish infused with citrus and fresh herbs, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Chicken Drumettes
- 2 fresh Oranges, juiced and zested
- 2 fresh Lemons, juiced and zested
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh Thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh Rosemary, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Drumettes: Rinse and pat dry your drumettes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, combine the juice and zest of your citrus fruits, minced garlic, chopped herbs, olive oil, and honey. Whisk together until well blended.
- Marinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade over the drumettes and toss to ensure they’re evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 2 hours to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat ensures a crispy skin!
- Arrange for Roasting: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and arrange the marinated drumettes in a single layer.
- Roast: Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Let them rest for a few minutes before serving and garnish with additional fresh herbs or citrus slices.
Notes
Ensure proper marination for best flavor. Adjust cooking time based on drumette size.
