💡 Tips for Lemon Herb Roast Chicken
- • Let meat rest for 5 minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
- • Don't let garlic burn — add it after other aromatics and cook briefly.
- • Pound chicken to even thickness for uniform cooking.
- • Roll citrus on the counter before juicing to get more juice out.
