Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: ~1 hour
Servings: 3–4

Ingredients

• 3–4 chicken leg quarters (or 6–8 bone-in, skin-on thighs or drumsticks)
• 2 cups lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Uncle Dibbz Durtty Bird Rub
• 2 tablespoons Uncle Dibbz Atlanta Lemon Pepper – Mild
• 1 tablespoon Uncle Dibbz Memphis Bussin BBQ Rub
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional, adds umami depth)
• ¼ cup water (optional, if marinade needs thinning)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Set to 400°F.
2. Make the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk lemon juice, olive oil, Durtty Bird Rub, Atlanta Lemon Pepper, Memphis Bussin BBQ Rub, and soy sauce. Add a splash of water if too thick.
3. Coat the chicken: Pat chicken dry and toss in marinade until fully coated. Let sit 10–30 minutes at room temperature.
4. Roast: Place chicken skin-side up on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast 40–45 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 165°F. Optional: Broil 2–3 minutes at the end for crispy, charred skin.
5. Rest & Serve: Let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving. Pair with corn, broccoli, and Texas toast for the full Medieval Times-inspired dinner.

Notes

• No extra salt or sugar needed — the rubs bring the perfect balance of heat, citrus, and sweet.
• Works with drumsticks, thighs, or wings.
• Best served fresh out of the oven, but leftovers reheat well in the oven.
