Honey Lemon Chicken

• . chicken thighs (4 pieces)↗1
• lemon juice (2 lemons)↗0.5 cup
• olive oil↗0.25 cup
• clove minced garlic1
• sea salt↗1 teaspoon
• dried oregano↗0.5 teaspoon
• honey↗1 tablespoon

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Turn the oven to the broil setting (about 450-500 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the chicken skin-side down in a well seasoned cast iron skillet (we use LODGE all the way baby!). Broil for 15 minutes. Flip the chicken over so the skin is facing up – broil for another 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Make the sauce by whisking the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, sea salt, and oregano together.

3. 3

   Dip each chicken piece in the sauce (lazy girl pro-tip – you can also just pour or brush a little bit of the sauce over the chicken) and return to the hot oven for a few minutes. The exterior of the chicken should get crispy and golden brown.

4. 4

   When the chicken is done, set aside. Pour out the drippings from the pan (reserve them!), wipe out any large residual chicken bits, and put the cast iron back on a warm burner. Add a few tablespoons of the reserved chicken drippings and the remaining sauce + honey. Simmer for just a few minutes until the sauce is bubbly and hot. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with a green salad and crusty bread for soaking up the very lemony sauce!
