Even More Chicken!

May 20th - The chicken thighs are definitely in vogue in my house just now....and I'm getting back into new recipe mode. I found another recipe using chicken thighs that was prefect for an easy weeknight tea, especially as we are getting fresh eggs from the school! Bill Granger's Roast Chicken Salad with Chive Mayonnaise was on the menu.....though I decided that I would leave my first attempt at making my own mayo for another day! The chicken thighs were seasoned and sprinkled with lemon juice before putting in the oven for 45 minutes. The salad of iceberg lettuce, celery batons and boiled eggs was easy, as was mixing chives from the garden into the mayonnaise. The recipe had chunks of toasted ciabatta, which I left out.  The result was nice, but a bit dry...could have done with more of a dressing on the leaves. However this picture looks remarkably like the one in the recipe book so I was pretty chuffed!
