Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs, skin on
- 2 large lemons, washed and sliced thin
- 1 large thumb of ginger, peeled and sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (224°C).
- Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry.
- Season the chicken thighs lightly with sea salt and place them in the bottom of a deep casserole dish.
- Arrange the lemons and ginger evenly around the chicken thighs and scatter the garlic on top.
- Roast the chicken for one hour, or until the skin is crisped, the lemons are softened, and the juices run clear when the chicken is cut into.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use fresh ginger instead of ground ginger.
- To prevent overcooking, use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and are delicious in salads or sandwiches.
