Herb and lemon marinated chicken - house beautiful

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 larges Chicken thighs, rinsed and patted dry
¼ cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ cup Olive oil
3 Cloves garlic, finely diced
3 tablespoons Fresh thyme leaves, separated from stems
½ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ cup Pine nuts

Directions

Place chicken in a large noncorrosive baking dish. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, 2 T thyme, red pepper flakes and salt. Pour mixture over chicken and coat both sides, placing thighs skin-side down to marinate for at least 2 hours at room temperature, or up to 12 hours refrigerated. Turn chicken occasionally to marinate evenly.

Remove chicken from marinade, place in baking dish and sprinkle with pine nuts. Bake in the middle of a preheated 400'F oven until skin is golden and juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 40 minutes.

Remove pan from oven, sprinkle with reserved thyme and serve.
