Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs with drumsticks (skin on) – I get mine from Swaledale (use NATNOURISH for a discount)
  • 6 medjool dates
  • 1 cup large green olives

For the marinade

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 grated/crushed garlic cloves

Mix the marinade ingredients together & toss the chicken in it. Leave to sit for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
