Directions
Having chicken for dinner had always been one of the best ways for a good quick dinner without any special preparations. The Roasted Chicken in Lemon Sauce is a recipe that you don’t need to prepare in advance however it really gives the chicken the out-of-the box treatment. The chicken produces an amazing lemony smell which spreads all over the kitchen with a flavor that is a perfect combination of the grilled chicken and the sour flavor of the lemon sauce.
Getting the roasted Chicken in Lemon Sauce prepared for a casual dinner will take you about 30 minutes, the idea is to create a balance between the chicken and the lemon flavors. I used chicken thighs, skin on, we need this precious skin to keep the chicken moist inside and to get this amazing outer crisp that a good grilled chicken must have.
The lemon sauce is giving the chicken thighs it’s distinguish flavors, a fresh and tangy taste. One thing to keep in mind, is that we don’t want the sauce to be too sour so instead of squeezing a bucket of lemon juice for the sauce we use just 1 lemon and the rest of the flavor is coming from the lemon zest.
For an extra crispy skin I start by roasting the chicken on a skillet, applying some direct high heat, getting a good burn on the skin which will later on even get crispier when roasted in the oven for a few more minutes.
You can add many variations to the sauce, if you’re looking for round flavors. Cream is the best choice to add for a classic garlic, white wine sauce which will definitely compliment this recipe. I wanted to keep the chicken dish on the low-fat version, so I didn’t use any cream however I did use flour as a thickener, ending up with a thick sauce which will be the star of the meal, so make sure you have a good bread on the side, to wipe all this delicious sauce straight from the skillet!
