Provided by Tonya_Speed

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lemon
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
8 chicken thighs with bone
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Sliced green onions and lemon wedges (optional)

Steps:

  • Finely shred peel from lemon and juice lemon. In bowl combine the lemon peel, ginger and salt. In another bowl combine lemon juice, honey, soy sauce and 2 Tbsp. water. Rub lemon peel mixture under the skin of the chicken thighs. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Place chicken, skin side down, in the hot oil. Cook 7 minutes or until well-browned; turn chicken and add lemon juice mixture. Reduce heat; cover and cook 14 to 18 minutes longer or until done. Transfer chicken to plates. Skim fat from pan juices, if desired. Drizzle chicken with some of the pan juices. Top with green onion and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the best choice for this recipe. They are more flavorful and juicy than boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe is made with lemon juice, ginger, garlic, olive oil, and herbs. It helps to infuse the chicken with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. This recipe is great served with rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This lemon-ginger chicken thighs recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is also healthy and delicious. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of lemon juice, ginger, garlic, olive oil, and herbs, then cooked until tender and juicy. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
