Fig and Lemon Chicken

By: Kimber 
"Chicken thighs roasted with figs and lemon slices in a lemon, vinegar and brown sugar glaze. Easy, delicious and if you don't feel the sauce is enough it can easily be doubled."

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.
