Preparation

Step 1

Combine chicken and lemon juice in a bowl just large enough to hold them comfortably. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 8 hours or overnight. Turn occasionally.

Drain chicken thoroughly and pat dry. Fill a plastic bag with flour, paprika and black pepper and shake to mix. Put two pieces of chicken into the bag and shake coating completely.

Preheat oven to 350° F. Heat oil in frying pan until hot. Fry chicken pieces a few at a time until brown and crisp. This will take about 6-8 minutes per batch.

Arrange chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Sprinkle evenly with lemon zest and brown sugar. Mix chicken stock and lemon juice together and pour around chicken pieces. Put a slice of lemon on top of each piece of chicken. Bake chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown.
