BROILED LEMON HERB CHICKEN

Category: Chicken

2 to 3 pounds of bone-in chicken thighs
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup of olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pat the chicken dry and place skin side down on the baking sheet. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Brush about a third of the oil mixture on the chicken and sprinkle lightly with a portion of the salt, pepper, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning and fresh rosemary. Broil about 4 to 6 inches from the heat until lightly browned, about 7 minutes.

Carefully remove the chicken and using tongs, turn skin side up and brush with another third of the oil mixture. Lightly sprinkle with more of the seasonings. Return to the broiler for another 7 minutes.

Remove the chicken, turn the oven down to 450 degrees F, and brush the remaining oil mixture on the chicken. Return to the oven and bake about another 10 minutes, until juices run clear or the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees on an instant read thermometer. Serves 6-8
