Notes about this recipe

    Very good weeknight meal.Came together quickly and the sauce was excellent with jasmine rice, peas and some nice bread. It even worked well with skinless boneless supermarket chicken that always seems to be lurking somewhere. Cooked two very large pieces at 375 for 35-40 minutes and used a total of two fairly large lemons. Everyone was happy. (I think the size of the pan is important; chicken would basically poach if the pan is too small.) (Edited to report that it’s now my favorite marinade for broiled boneless skinless chicken thighs.)

    Easy and good. I added a minced shallot with the garlic.

    I used skin-on bone-in chicken breasts that I removed the bones myself, and that was the hardest part of the recipe. I baked mine for 25 minutes. Quite good for the effort put in, but not my favorite lemon chicken recipe.

    Probably my favorite of Ina's various lemon chicken recipes. It can be made with skinless boneless chicken breasts as well, although the tops dry out just a little. Larger breasts take a bit longer than the stated time. The sauce is fantastic; we enjoy this over rice.

    A weeknight staple. I buy bone-in skin on breasts and remove the bone. Very easy to do once you get the hang of it. Yummy with cous cous.

    Pg. 120. Loved this. Very easy, very little prep involved. I had boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I've never seen boneless breasts with skin on). I cooked it at 350 rather than 400 for 40 minutes. I think that was a little too long. Would go with 30 minutes in the future. The sauce is really nice and I used it to dress some steamed broccoli and sauteed greens as well. I'll definitely be making this again!

    Such an easy weeknight meal. I have made it with boneless skinless chicken breasts too and was also good.

    Great weeknight dish with a fabulous sauce, but be careful as roasting the garlic this way did create a little bitterness

    p. 120 - NB chx breasts are boneless, skin-on
