    Don't let the name fool you, see tip for a reduced fat version. The delicate flavor of lemon makes this dish great.

    Ingredients

    • 3 Lbs. Broiler/Fryer Chicken Cut Up
    • 1/2 Cup Butter, Cubed
    • 1/2 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
    • 1 Tbsp. Sweet Paprika
    • 2 Tsp. Salt
    • 1 Tsp. Black Pepper
    • 1 Tsp. Light Brown Sugar
    • 1/2 Tsp. Dried Rosemary, Crushed
    • 1/8 Tsp. Ground Nutmeg
    • 1/8 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper

    Directions

    1. Place chicken in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and pour over chicken.
    2. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 hours or until juices run clear, basting occasionally.
    3. To Reduce Fat, Sodium & Calories But Not The Flavor; Try This:
    4. Remove the skin from chicken pieces and reduce butter to 1 Tablespoon and add 1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken broth. Follow instructions as above with this added change. This change slashes the fat by 70% and saturated fat by 80%, cut calories and sodium by about half and reduced cholesterol by more than a third.
