So I thought I'd ease both you guys and myself gently back into the wonderful culinary sphere with this tasty and simple recipe......so here it goes.... allow your taste buds be tickled.....

 

Sticky Honey and Lemon Chicken Thighs

 

 

 

Here is what you'll need....

2 lemons (juiced)
2 tablespoons runny honey
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 red onion (finely sliced)
4 - 5 cloves garlic (whole and unpeeled)
1lb or 6 pieces chicken thighs


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!

Green Olives with lemon marinade:
