Judy Sargent of Rome, New York sent the recipe for this moist and tender chicken. Nicely seasoned with a variety of herbs, it's easy to prepare...but seems special enough for company.

Ingredients

4 bone-in chicken breast halves (2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon grated onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/8 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
4-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley

Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 30-40 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°, basting occasionally. Remove and discard skin from chicken. Sprinkle with parsley. Drizzle with juice.
