Morning Chicken

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon or whole-grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) chicken, cut in 8 pieces, or 3 1/2 pound chicken parts
  • Salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. PLACE a resealable plastic bag in a bowl to hold it steady. 
  2. Add the mustard, paprika, garlic, thyme, lemon zest and juice and olive oil. 
  3. Add the chicken pieces and close the bag, squeezing out air. 
  4. Squish the bag around to coat the chicken pieces with the marinade. 
  5. Refrigerate 8 to 12 hours. (Turn the bag once or twice if you're around to do it.)
  6. COVER a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup. 
  7. Heat oven to 450 degrees with rack in the center position. 
  8. Remove the chicken pieces from the bag, letting any excess marinade drip off, and place skin-side down on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
  9. Roast for 20 minutes. 
  10. Turn pieces and continue to roast until golden-brown and juices run clear, about 10 minutes. (Chicken wings will cook faster, in about 20 minutes total.)
Notes
Yield: 4 servings.
