Easy Lemon Pepper Chicken Food

EASY LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to carefully fillet the chicken breasts into two thinner peices (or use thin-cut chicken breasts).
• Combine the flour and lemon pepper seasoning in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the chicken breast pieces and then rub it in until the chicken is fully coated.
• Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium. When the skillet and oil are very hot, add the chicken and cook on each side until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side). Remove the cooked chicken to a clean plate and cover to keep warm.
• Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about one minute.
• Add the chicken broth to the skillet and whisk to dissolve all the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the lemon juice and allow the sauce to simmer in the skillet for 3-5 minutes, or until it has reduced slightly. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed (I did not add any).
• Finally, return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over top. Allow the chicken to heat through. Season with a little freshly cracked pepper and fresh chopped parsley (optional), then serve.

Steps:

• Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot halfway with oil and preheat the oil to 350 degrees F.

Toss the chicken in the flour until completely covered. Add the drumettes to the oil, in 2 batches, and fry until cooked through and they start to float, about 10 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice to a large bowl. Carefully remove the chicken pieces from the oil and toss in the lemon juice, then sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning. Transfer the drumettes to a serving dish and serve with the dipping sauce.
• Dipping sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.

LEMON-PEPPER ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pulse the butter, lemon zest and juice, garlic, thyme, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a food processor until smooth.
• Put the chickens on a rimmed baking sheet. Loosen the skin on the breasts and legs with your fingers. Rub about three-quarters of the lemon-pepper butter under the skin, then rub the rest all over the chickens. Refrigerate, uncovered, 2 hours or up to 8 hours before roasting.
• Tie the chicken legs together with twine and tuck the wings under the body; place breast-side up on a rack in a large roasting pan. Pour the wine into the pan and transfer to the oven; roast until the chickens are golden and crisp and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F, about 1 hour, 50 minutes. (Tent with foil if the skin browns too quickly.)
• Let the chickens rest 10 minutes before portioning (see below). Season with salt.
• Grab one of the legs with tongs and pull it away from the body; cut through the skin with kitchen shears.
• Pull the leg out and back to pop the joint; remove the leg with the shears. Repeat on the other side.
