Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Two 2 1/2- to 3-pound broiling chickens, halved
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
Lemon Sauce (recipe follows)
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:

  • To attain maximum heat, preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before 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 half into about 6 pieces (leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces).
  • Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, of a size that can fit into the broiler. Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches.
  • Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute.
  • Remove from broiler and portion each chicken into 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.
  • Whisk together juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Whisk or shake vigorously before using.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and dry, and the lemon sauce was watery and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've tried many lemon chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken is incredibly tender and the lemon sauce is bursting with flavor. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the time specified. The lemon sauce was also delicious and I served it over rice. I will definitely be making this
