I admit I haven’t made this recipe. I want to share my Lemon Pepper Chicken recipe. I started making Lemon Pepper Chicken many years ago when I could get Lemon Pepper on the Herb & Spice shelves. Then no one makes Lemon Pepper anymore, they make lemon pepper with salt and various herbs. so…I do the following: I use dark meat chicken, trimmed, and, on the under side, pour on a little lemon juice and soy sauce then, sprinkle on ground black pepper and Crystalized Lemon (from the Herb & Spice shelf). Bake then 20 mins. then turn and reseason. Cook 20-25 mins til done. Absolutely de-licious! And the pan juice is fantastic on rice and I’ll bet makes an almost equally fantastic gravy for mashed potatoes. We love this flavor so much that i use it when I roast turkey. Try it.
I have chicken tenders on hand and want to use this recipe. How long should I cook them, please and thank you. Always look forward to what you have for us next. Thank you.
