This recipe has been inspired by an existing Lebanese chicken recipe that uses lemon and garlic.
I use skinless and boneless thighs but you can do it also with flattened chicken breasts.
Ingredients
- 6 skinless and boneless chicken thighs
- 1 lemon or more if needed
- 3 or 4 cloves of garlic, mashed
- Enough olive oil to coat the chicken
- 1 tsp of allspice
- 1 tsp of white pepper
- 1 tsp of sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp of turmeric
- 1 tbsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of black pepper
- Salt to taste
Method
Step 1
Prepare the marinade: in a bowl mix olive oil with all the spices and the juice of half a lemon then add it to the thighs. Refrigerate for at least few hours, if possible.
Step 2
Reserve the fresh garlic, the rest of the lemon juice and the salt for the end.
Step 3
Braise the chicken thighs in the oven. 10 minutes before the end, add the remaining lemon juice, the fresh garlic paste, 2 tbsp of water and the salt (to taste).
