Oregeno-Lemon Chicken

I really liked this recipe, even though circumstances at our house (the white dog tore open her paw pad and bled all over the floor, requiring clean-up and bandaging when I should have been taking the chicken out of the oven) lead to leathery chicken.

I got the recipe from this site, but changed things a bit (because that's how I roll):

Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in chicken thighs (3 pounds) - I used 1 1/2 pounds of chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

Directions

  • Place the chicken in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Combine the lemon juice, honey, oil, garlic and oregano; pour over chicken.
  • Bake, uncovered at 375° for 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with pan juices. Yield: 6 servings.

It was tasty! I served the chicken with broccoli and wild rice. Made for a tasty meal!
