A delightful twist on a classic baked chicken recipe, infused with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs for a flavorful and juicy dish.
Place the chicken in a large zip-top bag.
Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to avoid any leaks.
In a mixing bowl, combine the juice and zest of the lemon, minced garlic, soy sauce, ground pepper, and kosher salt.
Use fresh lemon for the best flavor.
Pour the marinade over the chicken in the bag, seal it, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Place the bag in a bowl to catch any potential leaks.
In another bowl, mix the flour, smoked paprika, ground pepper, and kosher salt.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels for a crispier coating.
Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, coating evenly.
Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumping.
Place the coated chicken in a greased baking dish and brush with melted butter.
Ensure the chicken pieces are spaced apart for even cooking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 30 minutes.
Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
Turn the chicken over, baste with pan drippings, and bake for another 30 minutes.
Basting keeps the chicken moist and flavorful.
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
