Chop 1/2 cup of Italian parsley, 5 tablespoons of rosemary, and 3 tablespoons of thyme into rough pieces.

Slice half of a bunch of spring onions into smaller pieces.

Smash and chop 4 cloves of garlic.

Combine the chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, sliced spring onions, and garlic in a bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons of Euro Hero seasoning to the mixture.

Pour in 1/2 cup of olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon into the bowl and mix well.

Clean 5 chicken legs and 4 chicken thighs, removing unwanted skin.

Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag and pour the herb mixture over them, ensuring all pieces are coated.

Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and mix to distribute the marinade evenly.

Refrigerate the marinated chicken for at least 4 hours, tossing halfway through.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

After marinating, remove the chicken from the bag and place it in a coated cast iron pan.

Pour any remaining marinade from the bag over the chicken in the pan.

Cook the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

After 1 hour, turn on the broiler for about 3 minutes to crisp the skin, watching closely to avoid burning.

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Spoon the pan juices over the chicken before plating.
