A simple and delicious chicken bake recipe that's easy on the wallet and full of flavor.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your dish.
Peel and slice the potatoes and onion into even pieces.
Cut the vegetables into similar sizes to ensure they cook evenly.
Arrange the chicken drumsticks, potatoes, and onion slices in a baking dish.
Place the chicken on top of the vegetables for better flavor distribution.
Squeeze the lemon over the chicken and vegetables.
Roll the lemon on the counter before cutting to release more juice.
Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt over the dish.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Dot the butter evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
Use small pieces of butter to ensure even melting.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 2 to 3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Check the dish halfway through and baste with the juices for extra flavor.
Serve the chicken and vegetables hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
