RAO'S FAMOUS LEMON CHICKEN (POLLO AL LIMONE)
Steps:
- To attain maximum heat, preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before using.
- Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden-brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork.
- Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on. Using a very sharp knife, cut each half into about 6 pieces (leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces).
- Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, of a size that can fit into the broiler. Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches.
- Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute.
- Remove from broiler and portion each chicken into each of 6 warm serving plates.
- Pour sauce into a heavy saucepan. Stir in parsley and place over high heat for 1 minute. Pour an equal amount of sauce over each chicken and serve with lots of crusty bread to absorb the sauce.
- Whisk together juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Whisk or shake vigorously before using.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the garlic, and cook for just 1 minute but don't allow the garlic to turn brown. Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces of chicken.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.

POLLO AL LIMONE (LEMON CHICKEN)
A wonderful recipe and one of my favorites. Any fresh herbs that are available will be delicious...even plain parsley. Try some fresh minced basil for an entirely different taste. You can prepare the chicken in the marinade in the morning and put it in the refrigerator until time to start making dinner. Prep time does not include time to marinate.

Steps:
- Grate the zest of the lemons into a bowl that is large enough to hold the chicken pieces, and then squeeze in all the lemon juice, holding back the seeds. Whisk in the white wine, 1/4 cup of olive oil, the fresh herbs, and the garlic. Add the chicken pieces, turning them to coat well with the marinade. Set aside, covered, in a cool place to marinate for several hours (or prepare the chicken in the morning and refrigerate until time to start cooking dinner).
- When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan.
- Drain the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade, and saute them over medium heat until they are golden and crisp on all sides, about 7 minutes a side. Place the chicken pieces in an oven dish that is large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the reserved marinade into the frying pan and bring to a boil, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and set the dish in the oven. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the chicken pieces are done (the juices will run clear when you prick a piece with a fork.) Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as desired.
- Serve immediately in the baking dish in which the chicken was baked, or remove to a heated platter and pour the pan juices over.
Tips:
- To achieve the authentic Olive Garden flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and high-quality olive oil.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches to avoid steaming.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the pan.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Garnish the chicken with fresh lemon zest and chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This Olive Garden Pollo Limone recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of zesty lemon, savory garlic, and aromatic herbs creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please the whole family.
