So we were inspired by a new Mediterranean restaurant we found for lunch a few days ago. They had Lebanese Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken, and it was amazing! Tyson was pretty sure he could re-create it, so we invited my mom over for dinner. She doesn't handle spicy, so we made just Lebanese Lemon Garlic Chicken. Still good!
Here's what you will need:
1 package of chicken. We used all legs, but thighs would work well too.
Marinade:
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 cloves of garlic
juice of one lemon
salt & pepper to taste (about 1 teaspoon)

Mix together the chopped garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Cover the chicken with the marinade & let it sit over night.

When you are ready to cook it, lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper. Season up high for even spreading.

Once the chicken is done, pour the juices into a bowl, and add some fresh lemon juice & fresh chopped garlic. Taste for salt content and add if needed.
Your sauce will look like this:
