Way, WAY too salty. I used exactly what was called for in the recipe. Fortunately, I tasted the mayo mixture before putting it on the chicken, and discovered the overwhelming saltiness. I added more lemon and mayo to try to tone it down, but dinner was running way late and I had to get the chicken in the oven after making these quick modifications. The resulting chicken, though moist, was very, very salty. We could not eat much of the chicken because of that. I also did not add any additional salt to the chicken breasts alone. Next time, I will omit the salt altogether, it can always be added after the fact.
In addition, I cooked the chicken for the recommended amount of time, and the mayo mixture scalded and tasted a little burnt, after getting past the salt.

Very Delicious! Had a friend come over for dinner and ask me for my recipe for the chicken! I didn't have the celery seeds I made due without it. I added a little extra cayenne for a bigger kick but I loved it. the chicken was tender and juicy not dry at all. Definitely added this recipe to my archives. TRY IT!
