This easy and delicious chicken recipe – Herb and Citrus Oven Roasted Chicken Parts – is so fresh tasting it will make any day seem sunny. I season it with lemon and orange juice and fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme so it’s bursting with a citrus flavor that complements the chicken so well.
You can even get creative with this and follow some of the suggestions I make in my cooks notes below. If you have extra time try marinating the chicken over night. Please watch how I make this delicious recipe in the video below. You’ll find complete recipe instructions under the video.
Serves 8-10 people
Ingredients:
Directions
In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, sugar, chopped garlic, lemon juice, orange juice, and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper. Place chicken in a rimmed 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Pour olive oil mixture all over chicken turning pieces in pan to coat all sides.
Place parts skin side up and spread them out evenly in the pan. Sprinkle evenly over chicken the Italian seasoning along with the rosemary, thyme, onion powder and paprika. Arrange slices of orange, lemon and onion around and under the chicken.
Sprinkle everything very well with salt and pepper. Don’t be afraid to season well. You don’t want the chicken to be bland. Let chicken sit for about 20 minutes before baking so that it won’t be ice cold when you put it in the oven.
Bake, uncovered, at 400°F for about 1 hour or until chicken is cooked and juices run clear.
Cook’s Notes:
For best results chicken can be marinated in a plastic container or bag for several hours or over night in the olive oil mixture.
Extra fresh sprigs of rosemary and thyme can be added to the baking dish for extra flavor and garnish.
Other herbs like basil and sage also work well and can be added.
Limes can replace the lemons for a different flavor.
Red pepper flakes can be added for extra spice.
Honey can be used in place of the sugar
A tablespoon of Soy Sauce works well in the olive oil mixture too.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink inside.

Indian Chicken Curry is a recipe I made up after having something similar in Miami. This Indian curry recipe has a bunch of ingredients but they all get tossed into the crock-pot or slow cooker, so it’s super easy to make. The flavors are intoxicating together so if you have never tried Indian Curry you have to trust me and try this one.
I love the taste of curry but never really make Indian style dishes at home. I cook a lot of Thai curry but Indian Curry Chicken isn’t something I usually make. I recently visited Miami and went to an amazing outdoor art exhibit called the Wynwood Walls. Artists from all over the world have painted these giant outdoor walls in sort of a graffiti style. It’s a great place to stroll through and admire all of the artwork. Among the walls is a restaurant called the Wynwood Kitchen & Bar. It’s a place where many young and hip artists types like to meet for drinks and a nibble.
The menu is very eclectic and the food was tasty but nothing earth shattering. I did however enjoy a clay pot curry chicken dish that inspired me to try my own take on it at home in my crock-pot. So this is my Indian Inspired Crock Pot Curry Chicken. It turned out so delicious. My husband loved it so much he told me he would marry me all over again. My kids even enjoyed it. There may be a bunch of ingredients you don’t have handy but they are easy to find in the store. It also might seem like there are a ton of ingredients in this dish but it’s actually a one pot meal so once you get it all in the slow cooker you are done.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Then dredge lightly in flour.
Add oil to frying pan and brown chicken on both sides in batches. There is no need to cook completely. It will finish cooking in the crock-pot.
Add the butter and all the vegetables to the crock-pot. Top with the chicken, spices, preserve and coconut milk.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5-6 hours.
Serve over rice with some chopped fresh cilantro as a garnish.
Cook’s Notes:
If you like it spicy you can add some red pepper flakes or fresh chopped chilies.
I sometimes add two cubed potatoes to this recipe. Be sure to cut them in large pieces so they will hold up during the cooking time.
I like to also steam some broccoli and serve it on the side with this dish.
