MMMMM---- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: 3-Ingredient Lemon Chicken Categories: Five, Poultry, Citrus, Vegetables Yield: 4 Servings 4 Chicken thighs (6 oz ea); - bone-in, skin-on 1 1/2 ts Kosher salt 1 lg Lemon; sliced 1/8", seeded 4 cl Garlic; peeled, crushed 3 tb Olive oil; divided Season the chicken liberally with salt on both sides. Set aside at room temperature while you prep everything else (at least 15 minutes). Set the oven to 450°F/232°C and move a rack to the middle of the oven. Add the sliced lemon, garlic, and 2 tb of olive oil to a 9x13" baking dish or rimmed baking sheet and toss to combine. Firmly press paper towels to the skin side of the salted thighs to remove any liquid on the surface, then transfer to the baking dish and pull any skin from underneath the chicken to the sides so that it can get crispy. Drizzle the chicken with the remaining olive oil and use your fingers to make sure the oil coats all the skin evenly. Bake until the chicken thighs are cooked through, the skin is golden brown and crispy and the lemons are softened, about 45 minutes. If the chicken is cooked but the skin isn't crispy yet, broil until the skin is your desired color. Remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving, spooning plenty of the softened lemons, garlic, and sauce onto the plate with each chicken thigh. Recipe by: Devan Grimsrud Notes: (How to play around with this recipe) Use Boneless Chicken: You can use boneless, skin-on chicken thighs for this recipe; the cooking time will be approximately the same. I would not recommend using skinless cuts here, as the crispy texture of the skin is a key component Add Herbs To The Mix: A few sprigs of thyme or rosemary would be particularly well-suited here Vary The Citrus: Add in thin slices of a deseeded orange or Meyer lemon Add Alliums: Thinly sliced onion, scallions, or even leeks would play nicely with the flavors here Spice It Up: Add chile flakes to the lemon mixture or season the chicken thighs with a pinch of smoked paprika, cayenne, or your favorite seasoning Sweeten It: Mix a drizzle of honey or a pinch of sugar into the lemons before roasting to cut some of the bitter and sour notes of the lemon skin.
