Baked Greek Bone-In Chicken

Who doesn’t love the flavors of Greek chicken? Lemon, olive oil, rosemary…it’s so delicious. I’m a fan of bone-in chicken because it comes out moist and flavorful. This Baked Greek Chicken recipe is so easy to make and foolproof. Eating a diet rich in animal-based foods will help you reach your health goals, including growing healthy hair (amino acids), supporting your hormones (healthy fats), aid in weight loss (protein is very satiating), and your lean muscle tissue will increase more efficiently, which is our longevity organ. Always try to find organic, pasture-raised chicken from regenerative farmers so that you are eating the highest quality of chicken. You can even find chicken that is soy and corn-fed free, to help you lower your inflammation, or if you have a histamine intolerance.
