Lemon Chicken
- 2 chickens, cut into quarters
- 2 cups fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup corn oil
- 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 2 lemons, sliced paper thin
- Combine chicken pieces and lemon juice in a bowl just large enough to hold them comfortably. Cover and marinate in refrigerator overnight, turning occasionally.
- Drain chicken thoroughly and pat dry. Fill a plastic bag with flour, salt, paprika and black pepper, and shake well to mix. Put 2 pieces of chicken into the bag at a time and shake, coating completely.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat corn oil in a frying pan or cast-iron Dutch oven until hot, then fry chicken pieces, a few at a time, until well browned, about 10 minutes per batch.
- Arrange browned chicken in a single layer in a large, shallow baking pan. Sprinkle evenly with lemon zest and brown sugar. Mix chicken stock and lemon extract together and pour around chicken. Set a thin lemon slice on top of each piece of chicken.
- Bake chicken 35 to 40 minutes, or until tender.
