Italian herbed baked Chicken

Preparation

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F . Marinate the chicken with piri piri seasoning. Dredge in the flour and pat off the excess.  Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the chicken skin-side down and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

 

1

Remove the chicken from the skillet and reserve.

2

Discard the oil and wipe the pan out with a paper towel. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.

3

Add the lemon zest, garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the honey, lemon juice, and broth, increase the heat and bring to a simmer.

4

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the onions to a 9- by 13-inch ovenproof casserole, and spread them out.

5

Arrange the chicken, skin-side up in a single layer on the onions. Pour the cooking liquid over the chicken. Season with oregano seasoning.

6

Bake in the oven, basting every 15 minutes, until cooked through, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
