Tasty Summer Chicken

Chicken needs to marinate at least 24 hours
Its OK to double this recipe

This is one of the tastiest ways to cook chicken. The chicken can be marinated with oil, lemon, garlic, and mixed herbs in this recipe.

3 1/2 lbs. of chicken cut into 8 to 10 pieces.

Oil, lemon and herb marinade.

1 cup olive oil
1 cup vegetable oil
3 lemons thinly sliced
6 cloves of garlic chopped
2 TBS of cracked black pepper
1 cup roughly chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, marjoram, mint, cilantro, Italian parsley, and/or tarragon.

kosher salt

1. Combine all the marinade ingredients and put into a container that is large enough to hold all the chicken.
2. Marinate the chicken under refrigeration for at least 24 hours - turning it 2 or 3 times in the process.

Preheat oven to 350F

Drain the chicken pieces, sprinkle with a little kosher salt and bake in a 350F oven for 30-45 minutes. The juices should run clear. Can be kept warm on the grill.

Serves 6-8.
