Easy Herbed Chicken
An easy, low maintenance baked herbed chicken
Ingredients
- 4 whole chicken legs
- 1/4 cauliflower in large florets *
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Add butter and mix.
- Season chicken with salt then add to a large shallow baking dish. Surround chicken with cauliflower florets or other vegetable/potato of choice.
- Brush chicken and vegetable with herbed butter mixture and bake for a 60 to 90 minutes (depending upon size of legs) until internal chicken temp is 165 degrees.
Notes
*I used cauliflower because it was what we had. This would be delicious with potatoes or another hearty vegetable. If adding much more than 1/4 a cauliflower though, add more butter.
