Ingredients

1 lb chicken legs

1 lb chicken thighs

3 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the stone-ground mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped rosemary, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.

  3. Arrange the chicken legs and thighs in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.

  4. Pour the lemon-rosemary mixture evenly over the chicken pieces and toss gently to coat all sides thoroughly.

  5. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (not touching bone) reads 165°F.

  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

This recipe hits the availability and cost sweet spot for Charlotte families: all seven ingredients—two chicken pieces, lemon, olive oil, fresh rosemary, salt, and mustard—live in every major chain and cost under $2 per serving for a proper portion. The 50-minute time is honest for baking, though you need ten minutes up front to prep the chicken and make the paste, so don't expect to eat in 50 minutes flat from a cold start. It's fuss-free weeknight food that reheats well and works for families, but the spareness of the ingredient list—no aromatics, no vegetables—makes it reliable rather than memorable, and it misses a chance to build deeper flavor that doesn't cost more.
