Other nights call for something bright, crispy, and a little bit smug when it hits the table. This <strong>Lemon Chicken<\/strong> was born for those nights. It is juicy on the inside, beautifully golden on the outside, and drenched in a lemony pan sauce that somehow tastes fresh and cosy at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This recipe came about after one too many lemon chicken dinners that looked promising but tasted flat. You know the kind. Pale chicken, timid lemon, no crunch. So this version fixes all of that with a simple technique, bold citrus, and chicken thighs that stay tender every single time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2400\" src=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lemon-Chicken-With-Crispy-Skin-IMAGE-12.jpg\" alt=\"Roast Lemon Chicken thighs with crispy skin pan, seared then oven baked for tender and juicy chicken full of flavour in a pan\" class=\"wp-image-54371\" title=\"Lemon Chicken | cafedelites.com\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lemon-Chicken-With-Crispy-Skin-IMAGE-12.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lemon-Chicken-With-Crispy-Skin-IMAGE-12-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lemon-Chicken-With-Crispy-Skin-IMAGE-12-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lemon-Chicken-With-Crispy-Skin-IMAGE-12-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lemon-Chicken-With-Crispy-Skin-IMAGE-12-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lemon-Chicken-With-Crispy-Skin-IMAGE-12-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lemon-Chicken-With-Crispy-Skin-IMAGE-12-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-people-love-this-lemon-chicken\">Why People Love This Lemon Chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not just another lemon chicken recipe floating around the internet.
