Honey Chicken with Garlic and Thyme

Wash the organic lemons thoroughly under warm water and cut into about 16 slices. Halve the garlic bulbs lengthwise. Also slice the chili pepper lengthwise.

Separate the chicken wings at the joint. For the drumsticks, lightly score the meat along the bone and fold it back slightly so they cook more evenly. Season the meat generously all around with salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or a deep pan over medium heat. Sear the chicken pieces until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes.
