Andrea-Style Grilled or Roasted Chicken — Bim Bim Cooks

Andrea-Style Grilled or Roasted Chicken

Juicy chicken marinated with oregano, citrus, and herbs, inspired by the famous Andrea restaurant in Egypt.

Ingredients
  • 4
    chicken legs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1
    onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp
    vegetable oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp
    dried oregano
  • 1 tsp
    sumac (optional)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon and 1/2 lime (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp
    honey
  • 2 tbsp
    fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, onion, vegetable oil, salt, pepper, oregano, sumac (if using), lemon and lime juice, honey, and parsley.

  • Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to 3 days.

  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30–60 minutes before cooking.

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a lightly greased wire rack on top.

  • Arrange the chicken skin-side up on the rack and spoon some of the marinade and onions over the top.

  • Roast for 30 minutes, then flip the chicken, spoon over the remaining marinade, and continue roasting for 15–30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.

  • Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
