BAKED LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN WITH TUSCANY SEASONING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place chicken thighs In a large bowl. Slice the lemons in half and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the thighs and add the lemon rinds to the bowl along with the garlic, salt, pepper, and Tuscany seasoning. Mix well, then put everything in a large baking dish spreading everything out evenly. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the chicken. We love the taste of the smoked paprika so we sprinkle quite a bit on the chicken. It's up to you.
• Put the dish in the heated oven and bake the chicken for 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F. If it hasn't reached that point, put it back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes. When it reaches the temperature of 165 degrees F take it out of the oven, cover it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Serve the chicken thighs with the juices -- discard the lemons.

• Add very finely diced garlic, apple cider vinegar and seasoning to the sauce, and keep whisking. The sauce will gradually thicken. Add additional seasoning, and lemon juice to taste. I like to squeeze half a lemon at a time, and then check to see if more is needed. Serve the sauce immediately.
