How to Make Baked Chicken With Herbs

  3. Add chicken pieces to the bag, a few at a time, and shake until evenly coated.
  4. Place chicken in a large roasting pan, skin-side up.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup margarine, 1/2 cup white wine, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  6. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of each herb (4 teaspoons total) to the saucepan.
  7. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the margarine is melted and the mixture is well combined.
  8. Pour the herb mixture evenly over the chicken in the roasting pan.
  9. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake for 60 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil, sprinkle the chicken generously with 1 tablespoon of paprika.
  12. Bake uncovered for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, and the skin is golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
