HONEY GLAZED LEMON CHICKEN
Citrus fruits go very well with chicken. Like my another dish "Crispy Orange Chicken", it doesn't require extra oil to cook but uses chicken fat from the thigh skin. After pan-frying and baking, the entire skin fat would come out. You get not only crispy skin but also tender and delicious chicken thigh. Plus, using real lemons to make sauce is a lot better than a packed product. Who knows what's in it? Anyway, enjoy this recipe. I think you'll love it!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Rub chicken thighs with sea salt and ground black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, white sugar and 1 cup water. Set aside.
- Combine corn starch and 1/3 cup water. Set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over a little higher than medium heat. Pan-fry chicken thighs (skin side down first) without oil until both sides become golden brown, about 5-8 minutes each side.
- Transfer chicken thighs to a roasting rack. Bake for about 30 minutes or until center reaches 165°F.
- Return to skillet. Keep about 1 tablespoon oil and turn on heat over medium high. Stir in lemon juice mixture and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, stir in honey and corn starch mixture. Cook until thick.
- Turn off heat. Stir in cilantro or parsley. Pour over chicken thighs. Use sliced lemon for garnish.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemon juice and zest add a vibrant flavor to the chicken and rice. Use fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for garnish to enhance the dish's aroma and taste.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs helps infuse it with flavor and tenderizes it. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor.
- Cook the rice perfectly: Fluff the rice with a fork before serving to separate the grains and prevent clumping. Season the rice with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what makes this dish so special. Combine lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. The glaze should thicken slightly and become glossy.
- Serve immediately: Serve the glazed lemon chicken and rice immediately, while the chicken is hot and the glaze is still warm. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Glazed lemon chicken and rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tangy lemon, sweet honey, and savory soy sauce creates a flavorful glaze that coats the chicken and rice perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal that is packed with flavor, give glazed lemon chicken and rice a try.
