Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 pounds dried figs
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 12 chicken thighs
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, brown sugar, vinegar and water; set aside.
