This is my grandmother’s basic recipe and one of my all time favorite ways to eat Chicken. I am not sure what part of Lebanon Lea and Perrin lived in but Worcestershire sauce was her secret ingredient (only discovered a few years ago)to make it taste a little different than the rest of the familiy’s Lemon Chicken ……. Read more . ;-)~ Her Garlic sauce is a must do.. She would fix this in the oven in the winter. Just bake chicken in its marinade for about 50 mins at 425 degrees. Baste with Worcestershire Sauce mixed with melted Butter. Hope you enjoy !! Ingredients:
1 recipe garlic sauce (posted in my recipes) |
marinade |
1 cup lemon juice |
8 large garlic cloves, crushed |
leaves from 2 large sprigs fresh thyme |
1 tbls paprika |
2 tsps ground cinnamon |
1/2 tsp ground sumac |
3/4 tsp cayenne pepper |
1 chicken, cut into serving size pieces |
salt, black pepper, cinnamon to taste. |
baste |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
3/4 cup melted clarified butter |
2 tbls worcestershire sauce |
reserve maranade |
lemon wedges and chopped parsley to garnish |
Directions:
1. Whisk Lemon Juice, Garlic, Thyme, Paprika, 2 Tsp Cinnamon, Sumac and Cayenne Pepper in small bowl.
2. Place Chicken in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour marinade over; turn Chicken to coat. (Alternatively you can marinate the Chicken in zip type bags.)
3. Cover and refrigerate 4-6 hours, turning occasionally.
4. Remove Chicken to a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Pat Chicken dry and set aside for about twenty minutes to dry further and come up to temperature.
5. In a small saucepan wisk together Clarified Butter, Lemon juice Worcestershire Sauce and 2-3 Tbls of the reserved marinade. Heat over medium heat until just bubbling, Reduce heat and keep warm on very low heat.
6. Prepare your grill: Put enough charcoal on one side of your grill to achieve a med hot fire. Keep enough space with no coals to be able to transfer meat from the hot side to the cool side. Make sure grates are clean and well oiled.
7. Season Chicken with Salt and Pepper. Start thighs and legs about 10 mins before the breasts. Place Chicken skin side down on the medium hot side of the grill.
8. Sear only long enough to get good grill marks. (about 3- 5 minutes per side.) Transfer Chicken to the cool side, baste all sides with the lemon/garlic butter sauce and dust lightly with cinnamon. Cover and roast about an additional 25 – 30 min. basting occasionally.
9. Garnish with Parsley and Lemon wedges. Pass Garlic Sauce separately.
