Chicken with Lavender & Lemon - The Best Chicken Recipe

I smell Provence on our doorsteps! Yes, we are growing lavender. We have three bushes and we just added two more.

 

Last night's dinner was a recipe from Provence in South of France, using the lavender I picked from the garden and air dried in the kitchen.

 

Organic chicken drumsticks marinated in homegrown lavender and, thyme with lemon zest, juice of a lemon, olive oil and a pinch of salt.

 

On to a 375-degree pre-heated oven for an hour.


Voila! Dinner is ready -- chicken with lavender & lemon, or in French... poulet au citron et lavande!


I have been cooking on a cast iron skillet almost every day! Love how the meals turn out and how they look. If you are in search of a cast iron skillet that is of good quality that doesn't cost that much money, check this out Enameled Cast Iron Skillet I prefer enameled because they look pretty in photos.
