Welcome to My City Food Secret:
Lemon Pepper Chicken Recipe. Lemon pepper chicken is a delightful combination of lemon, pepper, ginger, garlic, and other spices which render the chicken delicious. I often serve this up at dinner parties and my family and friends love it.
There are a few personal touches you can add to the recipe. First up, I use bone chicken as they are so easy to work with and healthy. You can, however, use any cut you like, but remember to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
