Tips for Perfect Lemon Pepper Chicken:
Marinate for Extra Flavor: When you soak your chicken in lemon juice and spices for some time it intensifies the taste of the chicken.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Ground nutmeg and whole grain peppery together with lemon zest are a lot fresher than ready-made seasonings.
Don’t Skip the Resting: Oh, and please make sure you allow the chicken to rest once it is done with cooking, so the moisture does not escape.
