Chicken Thighs With Lemon And Garlic Recipes

LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the chicken thighs with 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and 1 teaspoon of the freshly ground pepper.
• Place the flour in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge the chicken in the flour and set aside.
• In a large wide saute pan with 2 to 3-inch sides, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the thighs and brown well on both sides, about 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Add the onions to the oil and cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the chicken until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, crushed red pepper, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the bay leaf and cook 1 minute. Add the lemon juice, chicken broth, and browned chicken thighs to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover tightly, and place in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, remove the lid and cook an additional 15 minutes, or until cooked through and tender.
• While the chicken is baking, cook the pasta until al dente, 4 to 5 minutes for dry pasta. Drain well and toss in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons of the parsley and the butter.
• To serve, place a portion of pasta in the center of 4 large plates. Arrange 2 thighs around each serving of pasta and drizzle lemon garlic cooking liquid over the pasta. Garnish with additional parsley and serve immediately.

LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• CHICKEN STOCK MIXTURE: In a medium bowl, combine chicken stock, lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, Dijon, oregano, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken and CHICKEN STOCK MIXTURE; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade. Heat canola oil in a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.* Working in batches, add chicken to the grill pan in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

SHEET-PAN LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. In a small bowl, whisk the first 7 ingredients until blended. Pour 1/4 cup marinade into a large bowl or shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade., Drain chicken, discarding any remaining marinade in bowl. Place chicken in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan; add potatoes in a single layer. Drizzle reserved marinade over potatoes; top with lemon slices. Bake until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170°-175° and potatoes are tender, 40-45 minutes. If desired, broil chicken 3-4 inches from heat until deep golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

LEMON GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Spray a deep baking dish, or roaster with non stick spray.
• Combine 1 TBS of olive oil, the juice and zest of both lemons, plus the additional lemon juice, and the 4 cloves of garlic minced in a small bowl.
• Place the chicken in the roasting pan.
• Sprinkle liberally with the Lemon Pepper Salt.
• Pour the lemon mixture over all- you can throw the lemon rinds into the baking dish too.
• Bake at 400 for about 45 minutes to an hour, turning the chicken over halfway through baking.
• I sometimes make this, and seal it in a ziplock bag in the freezer, then when you are ready, thaw, dump in the roaster and bake- just adding the lemon pepper salt.
• My family likes this when I take the sauce from the chicken, combine it with a small amount of half and half and serve it over pasta.

LEMON AND GARLIC GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

• Lightly oil the grill grates and grill the chicken, skin-side down, until lightly charred, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Cover the grill and cook until no longer pink near the bone and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the deepest part of each chicken thigh reads 165 degrees F, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a green salad.

GARLIC AND LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven at 200 DC. Put a pot of cold water on the stove and place the new potatoes into the pot with a sprinkle of salt. Cook the new potatoes for 10 minutes. Now put the potatoes into a small roasting tin and sprinkle over some salt and pepper. Add 50g of the butter to the potatoes. Do not cover the potatoes with a lid or foil, leave the tin open so the potatoes can get crispy. Put the potatoes a side and begin to prepare the chicken.
• Rub each chicken piece in the oil and then place the chicken and remaining oil into a large roasting tin. Add the lemon juice to the roasting tin. Now sprinkle the salt, pepper, and paprika evenly over the chicken. Add the lemon wedges and garlic into the roasting tin spread these in between the chicken pieces.
• Once you have added the garlic and lemon you can add the other 50g of butter spread the butter cubes / pieces around the tin and in between the chicken pieces. Either put a lid onto the roasting tin or cover the top with tin foil. Place both the chicken roasting tin and the potato roasting tin into the oven; cook both the chicken and the potatoes for 1 hour to 1h 30 mins depending on your oven.
• It is important to not cook the chicken and potatoes in the same roasting tin otherwise everything will taste of lemon, garlic and paprika. By cooking the potatoes in a separate roasting tin, it helps to break down the flavours. 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time for the chicken, remove the tin foil and place the chicken back into the oven.
• This dish goes very well with a glass of white wine and a bit of crispy garden salad on the side though this is optional.
