Lemon Butter Chicken (Short & Sweet recipe) Ingredients 1kg Chicken pieces (thighs, breasts, drumsticks) 1/4 cup Butter, melted 1/4 cup Lemon juice (fresh is best) 2 cloves Garlic, minced 1 tsp Dried Italian herbs 1/2 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Black pepper Optional: Lemon slices, fresh parsley for garnish Method Preheat Oven to 200°C. In a bowl, mix melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Place chicken in a baking dish. Pour sauce over chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Bake for 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C. Cover for first half of the cook. Optional: Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley after baking. Serve: Enjoy hot with your favorite sides (rice, roasted veggies, salad). Key Points for Success: Don’t Overbake: Chicken can dry out if baked too long. Use a meat thermometer for best results. Fresh Lemon: Fresh lemon juice will give the best flavor. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper to your preference. Basting (Optional): For extra flavor, baste the chicken with pan juices halfway through cooking.
