Sweet, tangy delicious lemon chicken that finally, FINALLY my family likes. I haven’t cooked lemon chicken for a long time because well, my family doesn’t like the lemon sauce -it’s too sour they say. But it was a different recipe that I was using before so I thought I’d give it a try again using a different recipe. It was a hit! YESSSS! Happy family, happy me! 🙂
I’ll add more slurry next time to make the sauce cling to the chicken; I used turmeric powder to enhance the color of the sauce. I ♥ it!
