Honey Rosemary and Lemon Baked Chicken image

Such an aromatic slightly sweet, slightly tangy use for those economical chicken thighs. Make an additional 1/2 cup of honey butter lemon sauce with rosemary to dredge the thighs through before serving with sauteed kale & steamed rice.... very nice. From Nikki Shaw via the Contra Costa Times.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 chicken thighs
2 lemons, fresh
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, fresh coarse ground

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F; line a large baking pan with foil and place a roasting rack on top. Place chicken pieces, skin side up, on top of rack (this allows chicken to roast all over and not stew in its own juices).
  • Squeeze lemon juice over chicken. Rub with butter, then drizzle honey over the top of each piece. Season with rosemary, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Bake the chicken for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 25 more minutes.
