Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best, and this is one of them. I made this one night for my boyfriend and we loved it so much I decided to make again and write this recipe! With only 5 simple ingredients, this is a great last minute dinner option.

Ingredients:

  1. 4 skin on chicken thigh, bone removed
  2. 2 lemons
  3. ½ cup garlic sliced thinly (around 2 heads of garlic)
  4. Olive oil to coat pan
  5. Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Debone your chicken, pat dry, add juice from one lemon and salt both sides. 
  2. Quarter one lemon and slice thinly into thin triangles.
  3. In a small pan over medium heat add your garlic and saute for 5-10 minutes. Add your lemon triangle slices and continue to saute until caramelized, add salt as you go.
  4. While that is cooking, in a medium pan add olive oil and bring to medium heat. Pat the skin of your chicken with a paper towel to dry, and add to the oiled pan once hot. Saute around 8-10 minutes, until skin is golden brown. Flip and cook another 3 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Top with the crispy garlic and lemon mixture and enjoy!
