- 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
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!
