English_Rose's Note:

This is a simple, yet delicious way to cook chicken - the perfect mid-week, child-friendly meal.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 chicken , cut into 8 pieces (or 8 chicken pieces, breasts, legs or thighs)
• 2 lemons
• 2 tablespoons honey , warmed
• black pepper
• 2 sprigs rosemary or 6 sprigs thyme

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
2. Place the chicken pieces in a large baking dish, skin side up (they can be skinned if you prefer but the chicken will be more moist with the skin on). In a small bowl mix the juice of the lemons with the warm honey, then pour this over the chicken pieces. Place the empty lemon halves in the dish between the chicken pieces for extra flavour, along with the sprigs of rosemary or thyme. Season with sea salt and pepper.
3. Cook in the oven for 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the skin is golden. Remove from the oven and discard the lemon halves.
4. Pour the juices from the dish into a saucepan and boil, uncovered, for about 5 minutes until the juices have thickened slightly. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.
5. Serve the chicken and sauce with a green salad.
