Chilli Lemon Chicken Pieces
Bright lemon juice, chilli sauce and Worcestershire sauce give Marys’ Chilli Lemon Chicken Pieces their tangy, old-school flavour. Contributed to the Tully Family Cookbook, this practical family dinner is brushed with melted butter, baked or grilled until golden, then served with plenty of warm pan sauce. It is quick to prepare, easy to scale up and well suited to a weeknight meal, casual barbecue or relaxed family gathering. Mary’s original note says she liked to make plenty of the sauce, which feels exactly right for chicken pieces cooked until tender and juicy.
