4 LEMON CHICKEN

This recipe called for a whole chicken but I chose to use chicken breast as my family prefer the white meat.

It turned out really good. I felt it was a touch dry but my husband loved it and gave it a 9.

He wanted me to note however, that he does enjoy his meat dryer than most. My daughter, Falon gave it a 6 because she would prefer to have the lemon flavor throughout the chicken rather than just on the outside. I tend to agree with her.
