Weekend Cooking-Marinated Chicken

March 23, 2012

I love having the weekends to take my time and prepare a meal from start to finish, I find it so satisfying-even more so when it turns out tasting so good. I purchased some drumsticks from the store and had in mind to marinate them. I found a recipe but adapted it to what I had/my liking. It was supposed to be all lemon juice but I didn’t have enough so I added a lime and an orange. Here it goes…

1/3 cup citrus juice (I used lemon/lime/orange)

2 TBSP zest (lemon/lime)

2 TBSP thyme (from my garden)

1 TBSP rosemary (from my garden)

2 cloves of crushed garlic

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp crushed red pepper

Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl

Cut slices into the chicken pieces (I used 6 drumsticks with this recipe) and add chicken/marinade to plastic bag and let sit in refrigerator for 2 hours

Cook at 425 degrees until the internal temp of the chicken is 160 degrees F (it took about 45 mins for me)

I served with rice, arugula salad, and green beans

Enjoy!
