Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • fine salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large onions, diced
  • 5 cloves garlic, peeled and de-germed
  • 20 sprigs fresh lemon thyme
  • 5 tablespoons fresh lemon thyme leaves
  • 1.9 kg whole chicken, cut into 13 pieces
  • 60 ml lemon juice
  • 250 ml chicken stock

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 80°C. Preheat serving plates.
  • 2
    Season chicken pieces with pepper and salt. Using a high-sided frying pan large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer, heat oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken pieces in the hot pan and brown. Reserve in oven.
  • 3
    Add the onions and garlic to hot oil, lower heat to medium, and brown. When browned, return chicken to frying pan along with the thyme sprigs, lemon juice, and chicken stock. Lower heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the chicken is tender. Remove the pieces as each is done and reserve in oven.
  • 4
    When all the chicken pieces are cooked, uncover the pan, remove and discard the thyme sprigs, add the thyme leaves, and cook until the liquid is reduced totally.
  • 5
    Place a mound of onions on each warm serving plate. Divide chicken among the plates and serve.
  • Ready !
