Pucker-Up Chicken image

This chicken gets a nice lemony taste from the marinade before it is baked. I included the marinating time in the prep time....don't let it marinate longer or the lemon will start to cook the chicken! To reduce the fat content, remove the skin from your chicken. If you do this, reduce the cook time a bit or your chicken will dry out.

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 lbs chicken, cut up
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon peel, grated
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a large zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag. Combine the oil and next 6 ingredients in a bowl. Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken. Seal the bag tightly. Marinate the chicken for 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning occasionally. (I put my bag in a bowl just in case one of the bones pierces the bag).
  • Combine flour, paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper; stir well.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade; discard marinade. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, and place in a lightly greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish. Brush the melted butter over the chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over, and baste with the pan drippings. Bake an additional 30 minutes.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is delicious. I usually serve it with rice and vegetables, but it's also great on its own.
