Baked Chicken with Lemon & Thyme

Ingredients

GF, DF
10 minutes preparation time + 45 minutes cooking/rest time (plus marinating time)
4
  • 8-10 medium-sized free-range chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 cloves of fresh garlic, crushed or finely grated
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 small handful of fresh thyme sprigs
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Method

  1. Place the chicken thighs into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Now add the olive oil, zest of 2 lemons, the juice of 1 lemon, the crushed or grated garlic, and the fresh thyme sprigs.
  3. Mix together until the chicken is coated.
  4. Cover and pop the chicken into the fridge to marinate for a few hours and up to two days.
  5. When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F.
  6. Place the marinated chicken on a large baking tray and bake in the oven for about 35 minutes (the chicken should look golden and cooked all the way through).
  7. Once the chicken is cooked take it out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve with your favourite salad and crusty bread or roast potatoes.
