About Me

I've been an avid fan of food and cooking as long as I can remember, learning so much from my mother and grandmother throughout the years! I actually find the whole process of preparing and cooking a great-tasting, healthy meal, quite therapeutic!! Cooking allows me to be as creative and adventureous as I like, and allows me forget about the realities of the world around me. There's something so rewarding about producing great food and sharing it with great friends, family and now with you too!!!

Sticky Honey and Lemon Chicken Thighs




This chicken is ridiculously tasty and nutritious and is extremely quick to make, so get your culinary fingers out and enjoy a fabulous tuesday night supper!!

What you'll need:

2 lemons (juiced)
2 tablespoons runny honey
1 teaspoon mustard seeds

In a large oven proof dish, combine the lemon juice, honey, mustard seeds, dijon mustard, thyme and salt and pepper. Mix well.

Add the onions and garlic, followed by the chicken thighs and massage chicken with your hands until well covered with the marinade.

Place in a preheated oven 190 C/ 375 F/ Gas 5, and cook for 40 - 45 minutes, ensuring to turn the chicken at least once throughout.

Serve with boiled baby potatoes and green olives with a lemon marinade- delicious!
