The best Lemon Chicken I have ever had! Simple but yet tasty. Broiling the chicken first made a huge difference, crunchy and very tender. I followed exactly what the recipe suggested but just adjusted the amount of lemon. I served it with rice and the Peas and Prosciutto. This will be my family's favorite Lemon Chicken from now on. Thank you Ina for having Frank Pellegrino share this delicious recipe to us.

This dish was easy. Dont use the broiler until the end to brown the skin. You might be concerned with the 2 cups of lemon juice because I did. Tangy but delicious. I cut the chicken as instructed, skin facing up for that crunchy texture. Then cut up the chicken when juices ran clear, stranded the chicken juices and used the broth for my rice.The sauce needed a bit more salt & pepper for a better taste. Placing the cut up chicken back to the oven, then toss the pieces with the lemon sauce. Basting several times until chicken is drenched.

This chicken was very tasty and juicy, but it was a major cleanup project. The smoke detector kept going off and the oven was a disaster. I kept moving the oven rack down, but it didn't really help keep the grease from splattering all over and catching on fire. I had to turn on the self clean function when we finished. If I ever make this again, I would make it on the outside grill.

I liked it well enough, it is very lemony and my 13 year old would not even eat it due to the powerful lemon flavor. I even put one sweet grapefruit in the sauce since I was short on lemons.

I saw this recipe on Martha Stewart as well. I've revised it for two people, using boneless, skinless chicken thighs.I marinate the thighs in a little of the sauce and then follow the recipe. The thighs stay very moist. I have used both oregano and rosemary...my son and I love it with rosemary. The combination of rosemary, garlic and lemon is scrumtious. It is one of my all time favorite chicken recipes. I'm making it tonight..yum!

This chicken is to die for!! Most of the time I use bone in skin on chicken breasts as opposed to a whole chicken as we all like white meat. I cook the chicken with salt and pepper and make the lemon sauce. Then I cut up the breasts into pieces, pour on the marinade and cook it a bit more as the recipe says. This chicken is not only delicious right out of the oven but cold as well. Served with roaste potatoes and crusty bread...you cannot go wrong!

Am I missing something here? Just don't understand what the big deal is. It was mediocre at best and I squeezed lemons forever. 2 cups is a lot!!
