Gwynn Galvin of Swirls of Flavor shares an easy and delicious chicken recipe that’s perfect for busy spring evenings. With just four ingredients, you will be enjoying Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs on your dinner table in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
4 bone-in chicken thighs
4 Tablespoons butter at room temperature
1 Tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 lemon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F.
Cut the lemon in half crosswise. Cut one half of the lemon into 4 slices and place the slices on the bottom of a two-quart baking dish.
Cut the other half of the lemon into 4 wedges and set aside.
In a small bowl combine the butter and lemon pepper seasoning, stirring until blended.
Spread the butter mixture on both sides of the chicken thighs and arrange the chicken in a single layer on top of the lemon slices.
Roast for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165F, basting occasionally with the buttery sauce that forms on the bottom of the baking dish as it cooks.
Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes. Season with salt, if desired, and serve with the reserved lemon wedges.
