    I love it! We make this chicken multiple times a year. It's extremely flavorful, moist, and easy. I do have to admit I add garlic to the marinade. We have served it to guests and prepared it for our weekend family meals. This is not supposed to be a replacement of southern fried chicken. It is an lite Italian twist. For those looking to replace southern fried chicken look elsewhere. Keep up the great work Giada!

    I live in the south and we love fried chicken. I also love lemon. This recipe is perfect. My family was eating it right out of the skillet. The chicken comes out moist and tender. I will make this dish time and time again !

    I fried this chicken yesterday(11/23/10, and i must say that this chicken was very moist. I brought a whole chicken and cut it up into 10 pieces and did use an equal amount of lemon juice and EVOO, along with sea salt and marinaded for over 24 hours. I too seasoned the flour with salt,pepper,garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. I also cooked this with "Garlic Mashed Potatoes" and frozen Peas and Carrots. My wife, who is a Filipino never had Mashed Potatoes before, and she loved it. This is a Keeper.

    Gotta say that I love it but had to kick it up a notch by using 1 lemon per piece of chicken, marinating overnight with the zest and juiced lemons in a bag for extra flavor then I added a ton of lemon pepper seasoning to the flour... mmmmm. And of course you gotta squeeze fresh lemon juice on the hot chicken before eating. I had to go all out with a side of grilled polenta cakes and creamy basil mashed potatoes. Awesome!!!

    This is the best fried chicken recipe I've ever tried. I didn't leave enough time (1 hr for the chicken to marinade so I used 4 lemons. The breasts weren't as flavorful as the rest of the chicken. The chicken had a subtle lemon flavor, was very moist, the crust was crispy, and the meat fell off the bone - a perfect combination!

    I thought I had tried every possible way to fry chicken to feed my 4 kids, but this was a new refreshing recipe. The lemon gives it such a great flavor, all 4 kids devoured it and my husband loved it too. I did add a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the flour before I coated to chicken so that it would have some flavor in the crust. Chicken was very juicy. This one will be a regular for us from now on!
