Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken Thighs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 -3 lbs meaty skinless chicken pieces, with bone (I use thighs)
    2 whole lemons
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    4 cloves garlic
    olive oil
    lemon-pepper seasoning
Preparation
    Spray a deep baking dish, or roaster with non stick spray.
    Combine 1 TBS of olive oil, the juice and zest of both lemons, plus the additional lemon juice, and the 4 cloves of garlic minced in a small bowl.
    Place the chicken in the roasting pan.
    Sprinkle liberally with the Lemon Pepper Salt.
    Pour the lemon mixture over all- you can throw the lemon rinds into the baking dish too.
    Bake at 400 for about 45 minutes to an hour, turning the chicken over halfway through baking.
    I sometimes make this, and seal it in a ziplock bag in the freezer, then when you are ready, thaw, dump in the roaster and bake- just adding the lemon pepper salt.
    My family likes this when I take the sauce from the chicken, combine it with a small amount of half and half and serve it over pasta.
