- tsp ½ salt
- 1 lemon
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 tsp olive oil

Instructions
- For the chicken thighs
- Preheat the oven to 200C / GM 6.
- Place herbs, garlic, pepper, salt and zest from half the lemon into a bowl and mix well. Add the chicken and mix well, making sure the chicken is well coated with the rub.
