Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon tarragon chopped (leaves only)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic finely diced
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper
- 2 lb bone-in chicken thighs approx, preferably skin-on
Instructions
- Mix together the tarragon, mustard, garlic, lemon juice and some salt and pepper and stir so they are combined.
- Place the chicken thighs in an oven dish and pour over the tarragon-lemon mixture and ensure all of the thighs are well coated. Allow to marinate for 30 min to 2 hours, as far as possible.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375F/190C.
- Bake the chicken in the oven, skin side up, for approx 30-35 minutes until lightly crisp and browned on the top and the chicken is cooked through (time will vary a little depending on how large and tightly packed your chicken is).
- Serve hot, suggested over rice with the cooking juices poured over the top.

Notes
Note: Prep time is only 5 mins, but ideally you want some marinading time, 30 min or more. If not possible, it will still work without, you will probably just have less depth of flavor.
