Finger licking lemon chicken recipe is very spicy and juicy.
When I went to my brothers home at bangarpet KGF(Bangalore) I had this in one of the street shop over there. And was wondering how to prepare the recipe. When we started questioning the chef over there he jus smiled and never gave a reply. Me and my husband tasted out the chicken and this Sunday at Chennai at our home we prepared this lemon chicken recipe. Almost we got the exact taste which we tasted out there at my brothers place. Mouth watering and finger licking lemon chicken is set to go. Try this recipe and comment me out.
