First of all, I was disappointed that the chicken came out more like oregano-honey chicken than anything. The lemon was only a faint accent, nothing major though. Secondly, while I basted the chicken thighs regularly (about 4 times in the 45 min of cooking), they still came out dryer than breasts typically are.
I recommend that the chicken be soaked in the lemon juice for a short time before cooking, and that maybe only 2T of honey be used. Secondly, I typically cook chicken for 45 minutes, but I rotate it every 15. I was hoping that it would come out crispy as someone claimed it had, but all I had was dry chicken.
I really hate to leave a poor rating on this recipe, because it has the potential of being great. But not only is it misnamed (with barely a hint of lemon), but either my oven or the instructions went horribly wrong, and produces very dry chicken thighs (I prefer thighs because breasts always seem to be so dry).
