Ingredients

  • 1 chicken cut up
  • 6 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon thyme
  • dash lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • On one plate put the liquid ingredients - olive oil and lemon - if you need more just make sure the olive oil and lemon juice are in a 2:1 ratio - roughly.
  • On the second plate put the dry ingredients - bread crumbs, thyme and lemon zest.
  • Coat chicken pieces in wet mixture and then coat it in bread crumbs.
  • Bake between 40-60 minutes, depending on how big your chicken pieces are, I always take the chicken temperature before taking it out, the internal temperature should be 165 degrees.
  • Can also be used on chicken breasts, make sure to reduce the cooking time.
  • Great served hot or cold (which makes it a go-to Shabbat lunch recipe).
