1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon freshly-ground pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried basil, crumbled
1 tablespoon dried oregano, crumbled
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crumbled

Method

In a large, heavy skillet, melt the butter. Stir in all the listed ingredients except for the chicken pieces and cook for about 5 minutes until the spices become fragrant, stirring now and then. Take the skillet off the heat and allow the mixture to cool.
Place the chicken pieces into the cooled spice mixture, turning them to ensure they are fully coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
With the cover on, cook the chicken until the juices from a pierced thigh run clear, which should take approximately 25 minutes.
