Chicken Lemone

Broiled Chicken

THAT LEMONY FLAVOR

Chicken lemone has always been a favorite with my family. I get phone calls in the middle of the night asking when I'm going to make it again. It's that good.

The char broiled lemony flavor of this dish served with roasted lemon and herb potatoes will be a hit for any occasion.

Though my chicken lemone recipe is excellent for making at home. I highly recommend Tufano's Vernon Park Tap, right off of Taylor St. for some of the best lemon chicken you'll ever have. I've been going there for years. Something about those restaurant ovens and old recipes that you sometimes just can't duplicate at home.

When I make this for friends the first thing they say is it's delicious, but not like Tufano's. But they still eat it all up.

If your not planning a night out then make it at home I'm sure you'll enjoy this chicken lemone recipe just the same.
