Ingredients
3
chicken thighs
2-3
chicken drumsticks
3
heads of garlic, halved crosswise
1
lemon, sliced thinly & seeds removed
1
red chile, seeded & quartered lengthwise
4-5
tbsp
olive oil, to taste
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Place the chicken, garlic, lemon slices, chile quarters, bay leaf, and thyme sprigs in a large Dutch oven, skillet, or baking dish.
Drizzle olive oil on top of all ingredients then toss to coat everything well.
Season both sides of the chicken well with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Place into the oven and roast for 75 minutes, rotating pan halfway through cooking, until the meat is nearly falling off the bone.
Turn the oven to broil and cook, watching VERY carefully, for 1-2 minutes, or until the skin is a bit more golden brown, if desired.
Remove from the oven and serve. Enjoy.
