Healthy and Moist Baked Chicken

Ingredients

5 tbsp olive oil
juice of 1 lemon, lemon halves reserved
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp pepper
4 cloves garlic minced
3 sprigs thyme leaves
2 bay leafs
1 onion quartered

Preheat oven to 350 F
Mix oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme in a bowl, smashing in a mortar pestle would be even better.
Spread mixture under the skin of the chicken breast, thighs, legs, and back, being careful not to tear the skin, as it is protecting the garlic and herbs from becoming burnt and bitter.
Use your hands to generously rub the butter all over the outside skin of the chicken.
Put squeezed lemon halves, bay leafs and onion inside the cavity of the bird.
Place chicken breast side down in a roasting pan lined underneath with potato slices if you really wanna get tasty with it, or you can put the chicken straight in the pan.
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes before turning chicken over breast side up.
Bake for 45 minutes more or until juices run clear.

Serve and enjoy this delicious meal.
