Here is a dinner that’s as nice to make as it is to eat. It’s full of savory, oniony, lemony goodness, and is a basically hands-off, one-dish meal.
Time: Preparation 20 mins
Cooking 50 mins
Serving: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 0.5 lb sourdough bread
- 4 leeks
- 3 lemons
- 0.333333 c olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- 3.75 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks and thighs
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425 F.
In a 9×13-inch baking dish, toss together the bread, leeks, lemon, olive oil, and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper until combined. Sprinkle the chicken with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper, then nestle it, skin-side up, in the baking dish.
Bake about 50 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and toasted, the leeks are tender, and the chicken is lightly browned and registers 165 F when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into the thickest piece. Drizzle lightly with some additional olive oil, and serve. 6-8 servings.
