My mom always complains that I create a mess when I am at kitchen. Well, you know as they say "A tidy laboratory means a lazy chemist". I love to play with different spices and herbs when I am at kitchen, you never know what big new invention can happen. And one such incident happened one day when I was trying my hands with a recipe of lemon Chicken that my friend's husband had shared.
I tried this recipe again yesterday for lunch and my whole family loved this finger-licking dish. The lemony flavour in this recipe when adds to the herbs and chicken, doesn't just gives the it a acidity but a succulent flavour.Try this recipe at home and your family if ever doubt your cooking skills, would go gaga over your talent.
