INGREDIENTS

 

6 Chicken breasts or a whole chicken cut into quarters

2 Cups fresh lemon juice

2 Cups flour

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 

2 tablespoons grated lemon zest

1/4 cup brown sugar

2/3 cup Chicken Stock

1 teaspoon lemon extract

2 lemons, sliced paper-thin

​

Lemon zest is grated lemon rind (peel)

​

1. Combine the chicken pieces and lemon juice in a bowl just large enough to hold them comfortably.  Cover and marinate in the fridge overnight, turning occasionally.

2.Drain the chicken thoroughly and pat dry.  Fill a plastic bag with the flour, salt, paprika,and black pepper, and shake well  to mix.  Put 2 pieces of chicken into the bag at a time and shake, coating completely.  Shake off any excess flour.

3.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

4.Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until hot.  Fry the chicken pieces, a few at a time, until well browned and crisp.  This will take about 10 min. per batch.

5. Arrange the browned chicken in a  single layer in a large shallow baking pan.  Sprinkle evenly with the lemon zest and brown sugar.  Mix the chicken stock and lemon extract together and pour around the chicken pieces.  Set a thin lemon slice on top of each piece of chicken.

6. Bake the chicken until tender , about 50 minutes
