Doing this tonight but I've used skinned and boned thighs and stuffed them with garlic and thyme. We'll see!

How did that work out? Usually leaving the bone/skin on is better as it keeps the moisture in.

I'm going to give this one a pop tonight, it sounds bloomin tasty and that photo above is making me drool already

Thigh is pretty fatty so it's not too bad. Next time i'll reduce the time by 30 minutes though as it did dry out a bit.

...here's last Sunday's attempt!...

Looks very nice, mash is a good idea

Need to get my finger out and give this a spin!

Got this bad boy in the oven now cooking. I'll report back in 2 or so hours how it went!

Absolutely brilliant, only thing is, i had to use lemon thyme instead of thyme, noe sure if this makes a big difference? Still bloody nice though!!!

Bet it would be good with lemon and rosemary instead of the thyme...

Might have to give it a whirl next time I have some chicken

A bit of a bump but I'm still churning variations of this one out on a regular basis and last night it got the lemon treatment.

I loved it, my OH said there was a bit too much going on and the chicken was overshadowed but for me the chicken is just there to hold the flavours anyway.

Ingredients:

6 large chicken thighs
12 shallots, peeled and halved
1 bulb of garlic, split but in skin
A generous handful of fresh thyme, some leaves, some whole stalks
2 unwaxed lemons cut into 1/8 pieces
1 tsp of chilli flakes
A generous covering of honey

Baked in the oven at 150C for 75 minutes and then another 30 minutes at 190C (fan assisted).

The baked lemon and honey combo worked really well and all the juices combined to give a nice thin sauce to contrast the crispy skin of the chicken.


Prior to this I did a version with 5 spice, dark and light soy, garlic and golden syrup, that was rather nice too.

I just wanted to say thanks again for the inspiration on this one, it seems to have hit a button for me and I've enjoyed many a tasty meal as a result.

Again another bump- but ooooh that sounds good.

The original recipe is still going strong in the Melman household, been doing this one a week since the original post!!

[Frankeh]

Add some green veg, potato and a bit of rice?

[Melman Giraffe]

Digging out my old favorite tonight. Might make a couple of changes to spice it up! Yum

[PlaneFan]

Holy thread resurrection

Waiting with interest for the updated ingredients. Missed this first time round...but loving the look and the sound of it. Top marks sir.

Off to supermarket for tonight's feast

[PlaneFan]

Ingredients purchased. I'm 'aving sticky chicken tonight lol

[BerksJack]

Thanks for the recipe. Just bailed me out of my 'what to cook for mothers day' dilemma

[calibrax]

Going to make this tonight as well, as I have some chicken thighs in the fridge. Not sure whether to do the original or the lemon version...

[PlaneFan]

Twas yummy, with a large salad. Skin was properly crispy as promised. How much oil and honey should I be adding? I thought it would taste quite sweet, but it didn't. Nor was it overly sticky. But I did enjoy...lots

[CHIEF]

Gonna have a go of this tonight, again as the poster above has asked, How much honey should i use or just do enough to cover the chicken?

I tend to drizzle a little honey over each piece of chicken. If you want it sweeter add more!! enjoy.


You can also add a little chilli for heat!

[PlaneFan]

Bugger forgot to add chilli...I normally do to most things

Will have another go and this time use a little more honey and a few chilli flakes. Yum Yum.

Great thread from the dead. I'm going to try this.
