This is the first time I made this dish. I took some of the advice from the other reviews and made adjustments. I Pan seared the chicken to give it color and did the same with the potatoes using the cooking oil i used for the chicken. Omitted the oil in the sauce completely. My youngest son who is usually picky says MOM I LOVE THIS YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT AGAIN!! This is truely Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

My whole family loved this recipe. I followed the recipe as written and it came out so juicy and tender. The potatoes tasted really great.

This has serious potential but first, a warning; you must LOVE lemons for this. 5 lemons is a lot! Also, I took the advice from others and fried my chicken up a bit to give it color. I sprinkled some italian seasoning on them first. Also finished them off with a touch of paprika for a little smoky finish, After frying everything, I DRAINED all the oil but saved 2 tbsp, left that in the pan with the bits, deglazed with sweet vermouth and then added the seasonings, garlic and lemon juice. Instead of 5, I will do 3 (maybe 2 if large) lemons. Baked at 350 for about 45 minutes and it was fine. My toddler did like it with five lemons but my nephew and brother and husband found it incredibly tart. All in all, decent but needs a little love.

WAY too much lemon. It was so overpowering we couldn't even eat it. My husband said it tasted like sour lemon candy. I think it has a good potental with the spices and ingredients other than the lemon and vinegar. Will try it again with revisions.

pretty good, although i think there is wayyyy too much vinegar and lemon. my whole mouth was sour and squeeky for 2 days. i love lemon and vinegar but i think the recipe calls for a bit too much. i would cut it down to at least 1/2 of the amount so you can taste some of the chicken flavor.

I absolutely loved this recipe!! Unfortunetly, my picky eating boyfriend didn't like it. He said it was -too tangy- for him. But, this is my review, not his haha! Very easy and delicious recipe.

I am a vegetarian who cooks meat for the rest of the family. I am always on the look out for that fool-proof, delicious recipe that will work every time without me having to fuss over the seasoning, and this is one of them! My whole family loved it, even my extremely picky daughter. I did taste the potatoes with the marinade and they were delicious. I found this recipe rather close to dinner time, so I took the advice of starting the chicken cooking in the oven while the potatoes were browning and it all came out wonderfully. Thanks for the great recipe!
