Chef’s Pro Tips

  • Use bone-in skin-on thighs if preferred for extra flavor, then remove skin before serving.
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes at the end for a mild kick.
  • Let the pan rest 5 minutes before serving to keep juices in the chicken.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a green salad or steamed rice to complete the plate and balance the lemony glaze.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth.
