- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
- Use fresh lemon juice and lemon zest for the best flavor. Pre-bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch, but it won’t give you the same vibrant taste.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil for the first half of the baking time to keep the chicken moist. Remove the foil halfway through to allow the chicken to brown.
- Consider adding vegetables like potatoes, carrots, or green beans to the baking dish for a complete one-pan meal.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, don’t hesitate to add an extra clove or two.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
Once you’ve followed these steps, you’ll have a delicious and aromatic dish of baked lemon chicken ready to enjoy. The zesty lemon and fresh herbs make this dish light yet flavorful. Serve it with your favorite side dishes and enjoy a wholesome meal with family or friends. Baked lemon chicken is not only easy to make but also a healthy option for any occasion.
