Oven-Fried Picnic Chicken
My great-grandson Austin eats only chicken, so it appears on the menu at every family gathering. This version, which marinates chicken in lemonade, is among his favorites.—Anneliese Deising, Plymouth, Michigan
Ingredients
- 1 can (12 ounces) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted

This is one of my Son's favorite recipes. I marinate it overnight and it makes a GREAT Sunday dinner!!
This is a tasty and different take on fried chicken. I thought maybe the lemonade concentrate would turn out too strong, but my family and I liked the tang the lemonade gave the coating. However, I suggest "dabbing" the butter and lemonade on, not "brushing" it which would disrupt the coating. In order for it to turn out a little more crispy, next time I think I'll baste the chicken only 2 times, not 3 as the recipe indicates, and I did marinate it overnight beforehand. Oh, and tell the food police to take a hike.
horrible
I should have marinated the chicken overnight for more lemon flavor, but still the family loved it. The skin had a nice crispness and the meat was very tender.

this was so delicious...if you prefer light chicken recipes then go to that section...save the reviews for the ones that have tried and like the recipe please. thank you.
If I wanted a "light" recipe I would have looked in the "light" section. Perhaps dentaljenn is in the wrong area. This sounds great to me and I plan to try it! Thanks for the posting.
