Press GO to start step-by-step mode and keep your screen awake as you cook.
Step 1.
Pour the olive oil into a heavy-based saucepan and place over the lowest heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 10 mins until the chicken skin is very crispy and the fat has rendered out. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Step 2.
Meanwhile, dice the onion and slice the garlic. Zest and juice 2 of the lemons (you want 100ml of lemon juice) and thinly slice the third lemon. Break apart the olives with your fingers, removing the stones.
Step 3.
Add the onion to the chicken fat and cook for 5 mins over a medium-high heat until lightly golden. Add the garlic, black peppercorns and turmeric and cook for 2 mins more.
Step 4.
Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan and let the alcohol cook off for 5 mins, or until the onions are sticky.
Step 5.
Return the chicken pieces to the pan along with the chicken stock, lemon zest and juice, lemon slices and olives. Cover and cook for 15 mins until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 6.
Season with salt and black pepper and sprinkle with the parsley before serving with warm crusty bread. Enjoy!

Great dish; full of flavour and went beautifully with some good crusty olive bread. My 7 and 5 year old also loved, the only downside was we all had yellowy turmeric fingers for a while afterwards.
