HOW TO MAKE BAKED CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND SPICES:
Step 1: Place the chicken and the sliced onion on a baking dish. Season with salt, lemon juice, pepper, nutmeg, saffron, chopped rosemary, peeled garlic and olive oil. Marinate about 1 hour.
Step 2: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).

Step 4: Turn off the oven and serve with fries or rice.
TIPS FOR THIS RECIPE
1. If the chicken starts to brown too much cover with aluminum foil.
2. We usually bake the chicken at 180ºC (350ºF) but, if you lower the temperature to 150ºC (300ºF), despite taking longer to bake, it has the advantage of enhancing much more the flavors and the chicken gets more tender.
3. If you have leftovers, store the chicken in the fridge in a properly covered container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms). To avoid drying out the chicken, do not reheat the food in the oven, reheat it in the microwave.
