Chicken breast halves with skin and bones, (8 to 10 ounces each) fat trimmed or 1 whole chicken (about 2 pounds) cut up |
|
|
Salt and freshly ground black pepper |
| 4 |
lg |
Basil leaves |

Thin lemon slices |

Extra virgin olive oil |
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the chicken in a baking dish;
sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper and arrange skin side up. Loosen
the skin from each chicken breast and slip a basil leaf between the skin
and the meat. Add the garlic to the baking dish. Place a slice of lemon on
top of each piece of chicken. Drizzle with oil. Bake, basting occasionally
with pan juices and turning the chicken and the baking dish occasionally so
the chicken browns evenly, 35 to 40 minutes. If using a whole chicken, the
baking time will be about 50 minutes. To serve, place a browned lemon slice
and garlic clove on top of each portion of chicken.
Yield: 4 servings
