Notes

Lemon zest should not be missed: it brings out a stronger flavor of citrus than using just the juice alone.
Cook only the number of chicken pieces that the pan can handle, since this will help them become crispy.
Rest the chicken for a while before cutting into it so the juices are not lost.
Real lemons give a stronger and fresher taste than the bottle versions.
