Homemade Lemon Thyme Chicken

RECIPE

Lemon Thyme Chicken

**Ingredients

4 chicken thighs, with skin on

1/4 cup butter

2 tbsp fresh or dried thyme leaves

Juice of one lemon

Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Melt butter in a small bowl, combine with lemon juice and mix well. Set aside.

2. Separate skin from chicken thighs on one end making sure to not perforate the other side in order to make a small pouch.

3. With a brush, brush some of the lemon-butter mixture into each chicken thigh pouch. Leaving enough behind to brush the tops of the thighs as well. Sprinkle a few thyme leaves inside the pouch.

4. Brush on some more lemon-butter mixture on top of the chicken thighs, adding on some salt, pepper, and more thyme leaves.

5. Place in baking dish. Preheat oven to 350F and bake uncovered for about 35-45mins or until skin is golden and crispy.

* I use lemon/citrus thyme when I make this recipe to give it an even more lemony taste.
