Method: How to make Sticky lemon chicken 

1

Heat olive oil in a pan that’s big enough to hold all the chicken. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and brown it in the pan over a high heat. After a couple of minutes, throw in the garlic and thyme and turn the chicken so it browns on each side.

2

Once the chicken is nicely browned, add the vinegar, soy sauce and honey and turn the chicken pieces around so they get coated in the sauce. Then add a splash of hot water and the lemon slices and cover with a lid.

3

Let the chicken cook through and the liquid reduce down until syrupy, this should take 10 – 15 minutes. Keep your eye on it and add more water if the pan starts to look too dry.
