We really liked this chicken dish -- I used boneless chicken thighs so cooked it in the oven about 25 minutes. The candied lemon is delicious as is the whole dish. Thanks for sharing!

I loved the candied lemon peels! I used a peeler, not a zester. I'm so glad I did. This sauce is amazing! I had to stop myself from eating the lemon peels so I'd have some for the chicken. Thanks for sharing!

I made a single serve using a Maryland cut (thigh and drum intact). I scaled back for one serve and for the lemon I sliced the zest into thin julien pieces and candied them (I used a quarter of a large lemon but the same amount of water and sugar for the recipe) and it only took 5 minutes to candy up (hardly any liquid left). The chicken once cooked (45 minutes, I think 20 minutes may be for thighs without the bone) and the meat was moist and lemony with a hint of garlic and I thoroughly enjoyed thank you Dee made for For Your Consideration tag game at FF&F.
