Dish is good but there is so much wrong with this recipe as submitted here. First, what is the oven temp? Next how can 1-1/2 lbs chicken feed 4 to 6 servings. At my butcher 1/2 of a whole bone in breast weighed 1.25 lbs. (I used 1 1/2 whole breasts that weighted almost 4 lbs.) Also, do you remove skin or not? I baked for 30 minutes then added sauce and baked 25 minutes longer in center of over. Perfect chick. Also, I added 1 tablespoon honey to the sauce to cut the tang of the lemon which was pretty strong. Joyful Cook really needs to submit this recipe with corrections. My receipt as stayed is a 5 star one. Try it my way.
