Lemon Wedge Roasted Chicken
Who does not love the combination on lemon and chicken? Actually lemon goes well with almost everything. Tea, rice, fish, beef, porridge etc. Lemon is like garam masala makes any dish tastier. When I saw this recipe on pintrest I thought “oooh wow” I just had to try it. The Creole Contessa has incredible recipes. You should visit her blog. I tweaked the recipe a bit because I had no creole seasoning. Ok, I lie, I tweaked it a lot 🙂 hope you enjoy it. HAPPY COOKING!!
