Provided by KrissyW330

Number Of Ingredients 10

LEMON SAUCE:
2 (2 1/2 to 3 pound) broiling chickens, halved
Lemon sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 cups fresh lemon juice
1 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk together juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Whisk or shake vigorously before using. CHICKEN: Preheat broiler at least 15 minutes prior to 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 1/2 into about 6 pieces (leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces). Place chicken on a baking sheet (that will fit in the broiler) with sides. Pour lemon sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in 1/2 and do this in 2 batches. Return chicken to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute. Remove from broiler and portion the chicken onto 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.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I've never been disappointed. The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the lemon sauce is the perfect balance of tangy and creamy. I highly recommend this recipe!

This is my go-to recipe for lemon chicken. It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I love that I can use frozen chicken breasts, which makes it a great weeknight meal.

This dish was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the chicken and the lemon sauce was too runny. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon juice and garlic to the sauce, and it was much better. I also think it would be good to serve this dish over rice or pasta.

This dish was okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the lemon sauce was a bit too tangy. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had used a different type of chicken.
