Lemon Chicken

Lemon Chicken

Lemon Chicken is one of those simple recipes that you will want to make over and over again. Chicken thighs and drumsticks are browned and then  then roasted in wine, garlic, lemon and spices. The chicken is so tender cooked this way and full of flavor.

You can partially prepare this up to a day in advance. Just brown the chicken, add the lemon, garlic and spices to the pan and refrigerate until you are ready to serve it. Pour the wine in and put it in the oven. The result is a moist and flavorful chicken that you can eat with a fork.

This is great for entertaining.  It tastes delicious, feeds a crowd and you get to avoid any last minute preparation and enjoy your guests.

Lightly sprinkle salt, pepper and cayenne on both sides of the chicken thighs. Heat the olive oil over medium low heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until they are lightly browned.

Remove from the heat, and place the thighs single layer in a 9 x 13 inch or larger baking pan. Place the quartered lemons and sliced garlic cloves between the thighs. Sprinkle the basil, oregano and parsley flakes over the tops of the thighs. Crush the bay leaves into small pieces and sprinkle over the tops of the thighs.

Pour the wine into the baking pan. Take care not to wash the seasonings off the top of the thighs!

Tightly cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil from the pan. Baste the chicken with the pan juices  Put the chicken  back into the oven to bake uncovered for an additional 45 minutes.

To serve, place on a serving platter and spoon the pan juices over the chicken.

Notes

This dish can be partially prepared the day before. Follow the instructions but stop before adding the wine and baking the chicken. At this point, the pan can be covered with foil and placed in the refrigerator. When you are ready to bake the dish, remove the foil, add the 2 cups of wine, replace the foil and then follow the baking instructions.
