Honey-Lemon Chicken Thighs

"Here's another recipe with chicken thighs, which are actually considered one of the favorite parts of the chicken in Chinese cooking, as they aren't as dry as the breast. (This recipe isn't particularly Chinese; I'm just going off on tangents.) Enjoy!"

  1. This one is very easy. We liked it very much. I used reduced sodium soy sauce, a whole can of low sodium chicken broth, and a whole onion. I froze half, and it reheated beautifully.
     
  2. We really, really liked this chicken dish. The honey, lemon, and soy sauce is a brilliant combination of flavors. My family all agreed that this was something they would like to have again. Very easy to make and light on the budget. Thanks ChrisMc
     
  3. My family absolutely loved this! I doubled the rice part though.
     
  4. We really liked this recipe - tasty and easy. I didn't have a lemon so I just used store bought lemon juice. We had it with broccoli on the side - maybe next time I'll add it to the dish.
     
  5. There was just enough lemon as not to over power this dish. This is a quick and easy ONE DISH meal. I used 3 pounds of chicken wings. Thank you Chris I will be preparing this dish again.
