Directions
Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken Thighs,This is a recipe I put together one night with some chicken leg quarters I had – it was such a hit! Super delicious and so easy (not to mention inexpensive!). I have made it many, many times since, for family and friends, and even people who generally “only like breasts” love this. It really works best with meaty bone in thighs, leg quarters, and you can use breasts, but I would leave the skin on!!!!,Oh, my WORD! This was FANTASTIC!!! used 8 boneless/skinless chicken thighs, used Pampered chef’s Lemon Pepper blend and sea salt, juice from 3 lemons (then cut them in quarters and tucked them throughout the chicken in my 9×13 glass pan – I skipped the zest part), minced 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1/4 stick of butter throughout (instead of olive oil), and baked as directed for 45 minutes (turning halfway in between). I served them with yummy mashed potatoes, green beans, and french bread. The whole family LOVED it! This will be part of my monthly meal rotation. So easy!!!,I was looking for an easy chicken recipe and this was it. I thought 400 degrees would be too high but it cooked well in one hour. It was a hit with the teenager in the house!!! It was full of flavor and the chicken didn’t dry out. used the picnic pack that Foster Farms sells. Will definitely make again!!!
