Description

pan-fried lemon chickenToday I am excited to share a Pan-fried Lemon Chicken recipe with you.

First, let me start by introducing the main ingredient. I used boneless skin on chicken thighs for today’s dish. The skin fat will release great flavor into the dish and helps to keep the meat tender when pan-fried.

First, I gave the chicken a rub with generous amount of salt (a quarter teaspoon on each side of the chicken thigh, two teaspoons in total) and pepper, and waited about twenty minutes for the chicken to absorb the seasoning.

marinating the chickenWhile waiting for the chicken to be ready, I use the time to squeeze half a lemon and cut 4 cloves garlic as well as half an red onion into slices. Then I transferred the chickens into a food storage bag, added in the lemon juice, garlic and onion and marinated the chicken for two hours in a refrigerator.

For marinating the chickenTo cook the chicken, I first seared the skin side with high heat for a couple of minutes until it’s golden brown. Then I turned the chicken over and pan fried the other side with low heat until it is cooked though (make sure no pinkness in the center by inserting a fork).
