Serves: 1

Difficulty Level: Low

Oven Roasted Citrus Chicken

Ingredients:

Olive oil - 1/4 cup

Garlic - 2-3 cloves

Orange juice - of 1 orange

Lemon juice - of 1 lemon

Sugar - 2 tbsp.

Mixed dry herbs - 1 tbsp.

paprika - 1/2 tsp.

Chili flakes - 1/4 tsp. (dried)

Salt and Pepper - to taste

Chicken drumsticks - 2

Red onion - 2 (quartered)

Orange - 1 (sliced)

Lemon - 2 small (sliced)

Method of Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 220°C/430°F. Into a jug, add the olive oil, the garlic, the orange juice, the lemon juice, the sugar, the mixed dry herbs, the paprika, the dried chili flakes, and salt and pepper. Give the mixture a good stir.
Place your chicken drumsticks into a large oven-proof roasting dish. Pour your freshly-made marinade over the chicken pieces. Using a pair of tongs, turn each piece of chicken over, so that they are all completely covered in the marinade.
Take your quartered red onions and stuff them into the gaps between the chicken. Then, take the orange and lemon pieces and arrange them on top of the chicken. Season with some more salt and pepper.
Place in the oven for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked and the juices run clear.
