Lemon Thyme Chicken is a main course recipe that takes about 45 min from start to finish and serves 2. It calls for 8 ingredients across 7 steps, and is rated easy. A serving works out at around 767 kcal with roughly 44 g of protein. Filed under gluten free, dairy free, paleolithic and primal.
Strip the leaves from the thyme sprigs by running your fingers along the stalks, then add them to the bowl along with the 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and salt.
Use clean hands to really get in there and massage the mixture into the chicken pieces, ensuring every bit is coated.
Place a pan over high heat until it's very hot — you should see a wisp of smoke. Carefully lay the chicken pieces in the pan, skin-side down.
Let them cook until the skin is deeply golden and crispy. Use tongs to flip the chicken and cook the other side for just 1 minute.
