Chicken thighs roasted with figs and lemon slices in a lemon, vinegar and brown sugar glaze. Easy, delicious and if you don't feel the sauce is enough it can easily be doubled.

  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 ½ pounds dried figs

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. 2. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, brown sugar, vinegar and water; set aside.
  3. 3. Place figs and lemon slices in the bottom of an 11x16 inch baking/roasting dish. Arrange chicken thighs on top, then pour vinegar mixture over chicken. Finally, sprinkle with salt and dried parsley to taste.
