Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
1 teaspoon honey
1 small shallot, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 1/2 lbs chicken, cut into pieces
3/4 cup basic vinaigrette
1 lemon, zest of, slivered
1 cup oil-cured black olive, pitted
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 small bunch fresh thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette: Whisk together the lemon juice, honey, and shallot in a small bowl. Slowly add the oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly until emulsified. Season with the salt and pepper.
  • Make chicken: Rinse the chicken pieces under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a baking dish large enough to hold the pieces in a single layer.
  • In a small bowl, combine the vinaigrette with the lemon zest, olives, garlic, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Pour the mixture over the chicken and turn to coat. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 425°F Season the chicken with the pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Roast until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°F Continue to roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes more.
  • Spoon the olives and pan juices over the chicken and serve.

This recipe is a great way to add some Mediterranean flavor to your weeknight dinner. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, and the sauce is delicious. I served it with rice and it was a hit with the whole family.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is packed with flavor. I served it with roasted vegetables and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not a big fan of olives, but I loved this recipe. The olives add a nice salty flavor to the chicken and the sauce is amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.
