Baked Honey Lemon Chicken Thighs

October 22, 2014 by Tabitha 2 Comments

“What can I make with boneless, skinless chicken thighs,” I ask myself a lot. Then, after talking with my mother about the demise of a local Chinese restaurant, the idea of Honey Lemon Chicken popped into my head.

Super simple recipe with tons of flavor using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Great for those who love Chinese food.

I am not going to lie. These chicken thighs are ugly. So ugly that when my husband looked at his plate, he sent me a sideways glance that silently asked if the chicken was done.

Yes, it was done, but I was not reaching for my camera. This dish was not going to blog worthy. I could just tell.

And then, the first bite. Our eyes locked with one another.

Him: “Did you write down how to make this recipe?”
Me: “No, I didn’t think it was going to be any good.”
Him: “Grab your camera while you still have some sun and get a picture… QUICK!”

Because he knows that if I don’t blog about a recipe, he will never see it on our table again.

Super simple recipe with tons of flavor using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Great for those who love Chinese food.

These oven-baked honey lemon chicken thighs are divine.

Cooks notes:

  • I used Lemon Essential Oil but you could probably use lemon zest to get a similar flavor.
  • Any type of chicken can be used but bones and skin will change your cook time.
  • Next time, I will try this recipe in the crock pot and use frozen chicken breasts. I bet it will be awesome… but still ugly.

    This post made me laugh because it sounds just like a conversation that would happen in my home! When I make something yummy, my family always asks if it is going on the blog. Just tonight I made a yummy orange chicken and my family was disappointed that I didn’t write down what I used in the sauce. Oops! I’m always looking for a good chicken thigh recipe as they are so frugal. Thanks so much. Pinning!
