Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons butter, divided
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon onion powder
4 (8 ounce) skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place 3 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in a microwave oven until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Smash garlic cloves with the side of a chef's knife and add garlic to the warm butter. Stir in lemon juice and onion powder. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle both sides of chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium-sized oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Brush skin every 10 minutes with pan juices.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and place chicken on a serving platter. Drizzle chicken with pan juices and garnish with parsley.

LEMON AND GARLIC BAKED CHICKEN



Lemon and Garlic Baked Chicken image

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
One 3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon honey, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
4 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 2 lemons (about 1/4 cup) plus 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
One 4-ounce jar diced pimientos, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add the chicken pieces to a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the top. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and massage the marinade around the chicken to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least an hour and up to overnight.

Sprinkle the chicken with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until the chicken is deeply browned, the meat is cooked through and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh, avoiding bone, should read 165 degrees F.) Remove the chicken to a platter and let rest while you make the sauce.
  • For the sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the honey, oregano, garlic, lemon juice and zest and 1/4 cup skimmed drippings from the skillet and bring to simmer. Taste and season with salt and pepper, and if too tangy, add a bit more honey. Pour the sauce over the chicken, then garnish with the pimientos, chopped parsley and lemon wedges and serve.

CHICKEN THIGHS BAKED WITH LEMON, SAGE, ROSEMARY & THYME



Chicken Thighs Baked With Lemon, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme image

This is a simple and delicious recipe with a crisp skin and a moist, flavourful interior. In addition to the lemon and fresh herbs, the chicken thighs are flavored with an emulsified mash of garlic, salt, and olive oil, called allioli. The recipe is from Fine Cooking (August 1, 2001). The chicken should marinate for at least 2 hours. If you like, you can garnish each plate of chicken with a spoonful of romesco sauce.

Provided by blucoat

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large cloves garlic
coarse salt or sea salt
3 -4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
12 chicken thighs, trimmed of fat, rinsed, and patted dry
2 large lemons, each cut into six 1/4-inch rounds
1 bunch fresh rosemary, snipped into twelve 2-inch pieces
1 bunch fresh thyme, snipped into twelve 2-inch pieces
12 sage leaves
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Using a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic with a large pinch of salt to create a coarse paste (or use a small mixing bowl and the back of a spoon, or mince the garlic very finely on a cutting board). Add the oil very slowly in drops while pounding and grinding the paste, continuing until the allioli is thick, creamy, and emulsified. Put the chicken in a bowl. Rub the allioli all over, including under the skin. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat the oven to 425°F and set an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Arrange the lemon slices in one layer in a large shallow roasting pan or baking dish (9x13x2 inches is good). Top each slice with a piece of rosemary and thyme and a sage leaf. Set the chicken thighs, skin side up, on top; sprinkle them generously with salt and pepper. Bake until the skin is golden and the juices are clear, 45 minute to 1 hour.
  • Sometimes the lemons and chicken produce a lot of juices, in which case you can make a delicious pan sauce. Transfer the chicken (keeping the herbs and lemon slices underneath) to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Tilt the pan to pool the juices in one corner. Spoon off the fat that rises to the top. Set the pan over medium heat (if the pan isn't flameproof, pour the juices into a small skillet) and scrape up any stuck-on juices. Let the juices boil and reduce so they thicken to a saucy consistency. Drizzle the sauce around, not on, the chicken to maintain the crisp skin.

OVEN BAKED, LEMON / GARLIC CHICKEN



Oven Baked, Lemon / Garlic Chicken image

This is one of my favorite ways of cooking chicken in the oven, and, it's the only use I have for granulated garlic. I think it's worth while to keep it in my spice cupboard though, because this dish is a winner. The tartness of the lemon, along with the garlic flavor, and just a touch of heat from the blacken, really kick up, what could turn out to be just another baked chicken meal. Just be careful not to use too much blacken, because the flavors will it will take over the dish. Butt Kickin' Blacken contains neither salt nor sugar. If you use a different seasoning blend, you'll probably have to adjust for their high salt content.Butt Kickin' Blacken is available at: http://www.capnrons.com/index.html?ID=RZ For additional Instructional pictures, please visit: http://www.capnrons.com/R_M_Lemon_Garlic_Chicken.html?ID=RZ

2 large lemons
minced garlic
kosher salt

Steps:

  • 3. Cook for 45 minutes, then flip the chicken over, drizzle more lemon on top, then spice again.
  • 4. Cook another 45 minutes, then flip, drizzle with lemon juice, add garlic and a little more of the blacken.
  • 5. Cook for an additional 15 minutes of so, until the skin is mice and crisp. Drizzle with lemon juice one more time as you take it out of the oven.
  • 6. Total cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken and the temperature.
