Greasy chicken recipe

Another quick and easy recipe. I'd love to do a few more meals that are a little more "extravagant" but unfortunately my dad is a picky eater so I have to do meals that are more simple. Still, add this to the list of things that I will make again. It also was nice because it was the first meal where I already had everything instead of having to go to the grocery store so that was nice. The original recipe can be found here.

Review: When I read reviews for this recipe a lot of people talked about how it was pretty salty, or they could feel their arteries clogging, or even how it was really greasy, but actually it was none of the above  in my opinion. Sure it had a semi-salty taste because it does use soy sauce but it wasn't that bad. Part of it might have been because I used lite soy sauce though. I also used lemon juice instead of actual lemons. Some of the reviewers also mentioned how they added honey to help mute the salty tasty, and while I did not add honey this time, next time I make it I might. Mostly because I think the honey will provide additional flavor. To me, it tasted like a mild teriyaki chicken.

Recipe:

• 6 chicken thighs (or however many will satisfy however many people you are serving)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 lemons
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 5 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

In a shallow dish, soak the chicken thighs (or whatever chicken piece you want to use to be honest) in soy sauce. Squeeze juice from the lemons into the dish and let stand for at least 10 minutes. While the chicken is marinating, melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the garlic and fry until tender. Add the chicken thighs and cook on medium high until the juices run clear, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve over white rice with pan drippings.

When it appeared the chicken was almost done I poured the rest of the soy sauce mixture into the skillet but you don't have to. I also did not put the pan drippings on the plate I just served the chicken. That could be another reason why it was not extremely greasy or salty. You also don't have to use rice, obviously, but because of the chicken's flavor it almost gives it a chinese feel. In fact, if you were to do a side of broccoli instead of macaroni it would basically be a "teriyaki" chicken and broccoli chinese meal.
