Lemonade Chicken Recipe
2 Tbs. grated lemon zest (divided) 1 cup water 1/2 cup lemon juice 3 Tbs. packed light brown sugar (not critical but good idea) 1/2 cup buttermilk (I used closer to 1 1/2 cups) 12 skin on drumsticks (I used a whole bird I cut into pieces) Salt and pepper (ooops forgot the salt and used lemon pepper in the crust) 2 cups Panko crumbs (think more) 1 Tbs fresh chopped thyme (dried...probably 1/2 Tbs) pinch cayenne 1/4 cup maonnaise Cooking spray,preferable olive oil Mix 1 Tbs lemon zest and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add 1 cup water and sugar. Whisk to dissolve. Add buttermilk, whisk again. Pierce the chicken several times with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Toss in the marinade,cover and refrigerte at least 4 hours, better overnight. Preheat oven to 400. Bring the chicken to room temperature. Put the panko, thyme, remaining lemon zest and cayenne and 1 tsp salt and pepper (I used lemon pepper) in a large plastic bag and shake to mix. Put the mayonnaise in a bowl. Set a rack on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the marinade, dip in the mayonnaise, drop into the bag and shake. Transfer to the rack. Mist the chicken with cooking spray. Bake until golden, about 35 minutes. Flip and back until browned and crisp, another 35 to 40 minutes. Ideally served room temp or chilled (it's a picnic recipe) but I served it warm. |

| That recipe sounds so good. I am definitely going to try it. Thank you for sharing. |
| I do the same thing but just the mayo then panko with mrs. dash.. Makes it soooooooooo crispy like fried chicken! Your additions will make it taste soo much better!!! Great. |
| Looks yummy, but what are panko crumbs? Must be some exotic American thing! Can I just use bread crumbs? |
| yes. I was on a panko (japanese bread crumbs - very light/crunchy) kick for awhile, and I still use it for certain recipes, but I prefer the breadcrumbs! |
| Depends on the recipe, but really no reason to knock yourself out trying to find panko crubs (look in the oriental food section of your market where you'd find bean sprouts, soy sauce, etc. Regular bread crumbs would be fine. This recipe would work well with orange instead of lemon.........in which case I'd probably change the herb to tarragon. |
