What Happened When THIS Chicken Crossed the Road?

I cooked it.

pssstt.... don't laugh at my burnt tips, I know I should have cut them off.
but they looked so cute hugging the lemon. these chickens look like thayz belly rubbing.

Gordon Ramsay's Sticky Lemon Chicken

* 1 chicken, cut into 8 pieces I used two halves.
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
* 1 head of garlic, sliced in half horizontally
* 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
* 1 lemon sliced thickly, plus juice from another half of lemon
* "Little cup of water" or "about a ladle of water". Start small and add more if needed.
* Bunch of fresh thyme, minced with scissors
* 2 tablespoons honey
* Freshly ground pepper
* 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley

Preparation:

Salt and pepper the chicken, add the chicken halves, and brown thoroughly on both sides.

When the chicken is a nice golden-brown, add the soy sauce and the vinegar.
Top with the lemon slices and squeeze the juice from half of that other lemon over everything.

At which point I put the chicken in the oven and basted with the rest of the sauce.

Add water and, over medium-low heat, simmer, until most of the water has cooked away,
baste the chicken as it cooks with this sauce.


Season with the fresh thyme and drizzle with honey.
Add a good grind of pepper and cook for another five minutes or so.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley, I used thyme.
