About this recipe

Chicken with apples and lemons in the oven is an idea for a hearty dinner with unusual details. Apples and Uzbek lemons will play the role of a "cushion" for the chicken, which will prevent the meat from burning. At the same time, the fruits will impart their subtle aromas to the chicken, and themselves soak up the chicken juices, acting as a side dish. This recipe also includes an interesting technique to make the chicken juicier and more flavorful—thin slices of slightly frozen butter should be carefully placed under the skin.
