Roasted Garlic and Lemon Chicken

This recipe was inspired by a recipe from Nigella Lawson but it takes much less time than her recipe. It is easy and very good. I like to serve it with couscous.

                                                       Roasted Garlic and Lemon Chicken

6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

1 small head garlic, separated into unpeeled cloves   

2 lemons, cut into eighths. I use Meyer lemons because that is what grows in my yard

Small handful fresh thyme

3 tablespoons olive oil

2/3 cup white wine

Salt and black pepper

Preheat the oven to 425º. Salt and pepper the chicken thighs and put them in a roasting pan. Add the garlic, lemon, and thyme. Add the oil and mix everything together, then spread the mixture out in the pan leaving the thighs skin side up. Sprinkle the wine over the chicken. Roast the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes.
