Notes
1. For extra crispy skin, ensure the chicken is patted dry before seasoning. 2. Make extra sauce to drizzle over rice or vegetables. 3. Don't rush the cooking process—allow the chicken to brown properly for best flavor. 4. Use fresh ingredients for the best taste, especially lemon and garlic.
