Lemon Kelp Chicken Thighs
This is a delicious chicken recipe, perfect for spring and summer!
It has just the right amount of lemon, and the kelp seasoning provides additional nutrition benefits as well as a massive flavour burst. This is one of our favourites and is versatile in terms of what you can serve it with, but also simple to make. I hope you like it too.

5 bone-in chicken thigh cutlets or drumsticks
2T salted butter or animal fat
Juice from one lemon (or lime)
1T Kelp Seasoning
1/2t himalayan salt

Heat butter in a large stainless steel or cast iron fry pan over high heat.

Turn onto other side and sear for 1-2 minutes before adding the lemon juice to the hot pan.

The butter and lemon juice will start to blacken the chicken. Turn temp down to medium/low.

You can then turn temp off and cover with lid to finish cooking for 10 minutes,
-
or place into preheated 160deg oven until juices run clear.
