CITRUS CHICKEN

The humble chicken gets a standing ovation in this delectable dish of sweet and tangy flavours, crispy chicken skin and juicy tender meat. Next time you see a lemon and orange lazing around in the kitchen, grab them and make this citrus chicken. The flavours are in the pan juices, so be sure to drizzle some over the chicken just before serving.
