Yield 4 People

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 bone-in chicken drumsticks or thighs, or a mix
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 large red or yellow onion, cut into 8 wedges
4 medium red potatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Using a pepper towel in each hand to help grip the chicken pieces, remove and discard the skin by pulling it off. In a 2 gallon zip-locked plastic bag, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), and a hefty pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken, onion and potatoes, seal the bag and gently turn over several times to evenly coat the contents with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours, turning the bag once or twice if convenient. When ready to cook, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Dump the contents of the bag onto the pan, spread into an even layer, then bake uncovered until the chicken registers 175 degrees at the thickest parts, about 40 minutes. If the potatoes and onions brown too quickly on one side, turn them for more even cooking.

This was my first time cooking lemon chicken, and it turned out great! The chicken was tender and moist, and the lemon sauce was the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. I will definitely be making this again.

I've tried many lemon chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken is always cooked perfectly, and the lemon sauce is so flavorful. I love that it's a one-pan meal, too.
