"I haven't made this recipe but it sounds so good and has all ingredients that I like. Especially preserved lemon and fresh lemon juice. The recipe is originally from BBC Food by Nigel Slater with some modification (translating) from me. Allow 1 hour resting time for the thighs with the honey mustard mixture already on them."

Original is 3 servings

Give full marks for flavour and ease of cooking but not really sticky chicken but would still definitely make again. Unfortunately I could not get any preserved lemons at the supermarket (I normally make my own but this year the lemon tree performed poorly and the supermarkets claimed not available until closer Christmas even though they seem to have everything else on the shelves for the festive season so I used the zest of the lemon and some slice black olives I had in a jar in the fridge but as I don't care for olives I gave that to the DM and DS who devoured and just had the chicken, the photo I took was the DS's portion of chicken. Thank you Bergy for an enjoyable main to our dinner, made for Pick Me tag game.
