Ingredients
  

  • 1-1 1/2 kilos chicken, legs, thighs, breasts, up to you
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • all purpose flour, as needed for dredging
  • olive oil, as needed
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • lemon zest, from 1/2 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup chicken broth, fresh or from powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200 C. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour and pat off the excess. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Add the chicken skin-side down first and saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Discard the oil from the pan and wipe out the pan with a paper towel. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and heat over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the lemon zest, garlic, and rosemary, and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the honey, lemon juice, and broth, increase the heat and bring to a simmer.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the onions to a 9x13 baking dish, and spread them out. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up in a single layer on the onions. Pour the cooking liquid over the chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, basting every 15 minutes. Serve with pasta or mashed potatoes.

Notes

The chicken will cost about 110 Baht for 1 1/2 kilos of chicken. For 4 servings, this is about 81 cents per serving.
