Gordon Ramsay's Sticky Lemon Chicken

"I found this recipe on a youtube video of Gordon Ramsey making this on one of his British cooking shows. These turned out pretty good and the flavors are fantastic! You can watch the video if that would be helpful! In it, he used whole chicken legs/thighs still attached together. I only had Chicken legs and they turned out great! You could probably use the bone-in chicken thighs. This is very easy and the lemon aroma will make your home smell so heavenly!"

  1. DELICIOUS!!!! I was a bit skeptical when I read some of the reviews because my family like bold flavors but I was very happy how this turned out! It was so quick and easy I had dinner done in no time! My modifications where I used chicken breasts that I flattened out and adjusted the cooking time a bit so the meat would not get over cooked I also just sprinkled thyme since a Tbsp sounded like a bit much. The sauce it made was very tasty and I served it over rice. Definatley going to Pin this one!
     
  2. I enjoyed it. Following these directions, the sauce was strong, but the taste of the chicken was light as others have said. I may try using thicker slices of lemon and timing the honey a bit different. This video of Ramsay cooking this dish does it slightly differently:<br/><br/>http://youtu.be/mARkUax2jg0
     
  3. This was just ok for us. I didn't really like the sweet and sour taste so much. I don't really know what i was expecting. We didn't finish it. sorry this didn't work I usually love Ramsey's stuff
     
  4. This had very subtle flavors considering the ingredients. My family liked it, and I will be making it again. Thank you for posting.
     
  5. This was very easy to make and had all of the ingredients on hand. The taste is very light- not a strong lemon or honey flavor. I used minced garlic instead of sliced and chicken broth in place of the water. Good taste and easy weeknight dinner
