How to bake chicken with lemon? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. Weʼll do the filling. Wash the lemon and dry it. Peel the onions, wash and dry with napkins.

Step 2
Cut half a lemon and an onion into small pieces. To prevent your eyes from watering when cutting onions, wet your knife with cold water. This will be our filling.

Squeeze the juice out of the lemon. Pass the garlic through a press. Finely chop the washed greens. Combine soft butter with lemon juice and zest, chopped herbs and dry spices. Place all ingredients in a bowl.

Step 9

Step 9
Tie the chicken legs with twine. Place the pan in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 1 hour. Bake until golden brown. It may take a little longer depending on your oven. I baked on the top+bottom+convection mode. Periodically baste the chicken with the juices from the bottom of the pan.
