Lemon Marinated Chicken
I have been making this chicken for 23 years. I can’t even believe I am old enough to say that. I vividly remember the first time I made this recipe. I was 18 years old and my extended family was in town to celebrate my high school graduation. I cooked for all of them and made this chicken. We have been loving it ever since! I hope you enjoy it just as much!
