Eat Lemon Chicken

Okay I realize I post a lot of chicken recipes and I apologize. But this one is especially good and easy.

You know those rotisserie chickens at Wal-Mart and Sprouts you can buy for like $7? I have replaced that expensive habit with this chicken recipe that is almost as quick and you can make sure no one puts anything in it you don’t want.
