Ingredients

6 chicken thighs 

Marinade

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp coarse pepper powder

1 tsp paprika powder

1 egg

1 tsp mixed dried herbs

1/2 tsp lemon zest 

2-3 tbsp flour for coating 

Sauce

2 tbsp butter

2-3 garlic cloves grated

Juice of half a lemon

1 tsp fine pepper powder 

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 tbsp dried parsley 

Lemon slices

Salt for seasoning 

Method:

1. Marinate the chicken with marinade ingredients and keep for atleast 30 mins.

2. Heat a pan , add little olive oil. Coat the chicken with the flour and fry for few mins on low flame. We just need to fry for a minute on either side to seal the juices as we will cook the chicken in the oven. 

3. Place the chicken in an oven dish.

4. In the same pan, add butter once it melts add in the garlic, pepper, mix well. Pour in the lemon juice and broth and let it thicken. Mix in the parsley and take off the heat.

5. Spoon the sauce over the chicken pieces, place lemon slices and cook in pre heated oven for 30-40mins on 180deg or until chicken is cooked. Ensure half way through the cooking process you turn the chicken and drizzle the sauce over.

6. Serve with fresh salad and enjoy hot.
