I'm not a big fan of dill, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did! The lemon and dill flavors were actually really good together. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the skin was nice and crispy. I'll definitely be making this again

This dish was okay, but not as good as I had hoped. The chicken was a bit dry and the lemon-dill flavor was not very pronounced. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
