Homemade lemon chicken with fresh vegetables - perfect for spring entertaining!
Ingredients:
  • 6 chicken thigh pieces, backbone trimmed
  • 6 chicken drumsticks
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) honey
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) fresh lemon juice
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) kecap manis
  • 1 lemon, very thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch baby (Dutch) carrots, peeled, ends trimmed
  • 1 bunch baby pak choy, halved lengthways
  • Steamed white rice, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Cook the chicken thigh pieces for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer them to a small roasting pan. Repeat the process with the chicken drumsticks, ensuring to reheat the pan between batches.
  • Combine the honey, lemon juice, and kecap manis in a large jug, and whisk until fully blended.
  • Place the lemon slices over and around the chicken, then drizzle with the honey mixture. Bake for 35 minutes, basting with the pan sauce halfway through, until the chicken is cooked and the lemon is caramelized.
  • While eagerly waiting, bring a sizable saucepan to a lively boil. Introduce the carrots and simmer for 2-3 minutes until they reach the perfect level of tenderness. Next, introduce the pak choy and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until it delicately wilts.
  • Place the chicken in a serving dish, cover with foil to preserve warmth. Pour the pan juices into a saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Plate the chicken surrounded by the carrots and pak choy. Drizzle with the sauce and serve with rice on the side.
