It is spring so I like to lemon all the things. Actually I love lemon all year round but I like to take advantage of it while it is popular. My favorite spice to use is the lemon pepper spice. I love lemon with some pepper and it really takes this chicken to a whole different and delicious level.
This recipe is so easy to make. And it seems so impressive. I bake the chicken in the oven and then I broiled the tops so they could get that nice crisp edge and tender and juicy center.
Ingredients:
