Lemon Caper Chicken Thighs 🍋❤️ If you are looking for an easy but impressive chicken thigh recipe, look no further. This is one of my favorite recipes because it is unfussy, full of brightness from the capers and lemon but also rich and comforting.

First, mix yogurt, caper brine, olive oil, lemon zest, grated garlic, 1 tsp salt and za’atar.
Secondly, add in chicken and let sit for 4-12 hours.
Place chicken in a cookie sheet, sprinkle some salt on the top and roast at 425F for 35-45 minutes and broil 1-2 minutes to get extra crispy skin. Basting once or twice.
Then, sauté the shallots and capers for 2 minutes on medium with a bit of olive oil.
Add in wine and reduce by 3/4. Squeeze lemon, add honey, a bit of salt and cook 1-2 minutes. Then, turn heat off and add butter, emulsify until you get a creamy sauce.
Lastly, serve sauce on the bottom to keep your chicken skin crispy.
