Ingredients
  

  • Frozen chicken leg and thigh pieces
  • 2 cups white wine I used a Pinot Grigio
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard seed
  • 2-3 pinches of salt
  • 3 clementines

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pop the chicken in the microwave for a minute or 2 just to be able to break apart the pieces.
    Frozen chicken leg and thigh pieces
  • Meanwhile add the wine, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, mustard and salt to a roasting pan.
    2 cups white wine, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon ground mustard seed, 2-3 pinches of salt
  • Cut the clementines in half and squeeze as much juice as possible into the wine mixture.
    3 clementines
  • Whisk to combine everything.
  • Separate the chicken pieces and submerge them into the liquid. Squish in the clementine halves as well.
  • Bake for 1 hour.
  • After the hour remove the cover and crank up the temperature to 425 degrees.
  • Bake for an additional 30-45 minutes. The exposed skin will crisp and the internal temp should be at least 165 degrees.
  • Discard the clementines and serve with your favorite sides!
