I am always on the look out for chicken recipes to go with a salad during the week. This particular recipe is just fresh and simple and flavourful. I love the lemony flavour and using chicken drumsticks or even thighs keeps the texture of the meat tender and it doesn't dry out like if you would have used chicken breasts

Welcome to my Blog The Eaterspot. My blogging journey began in March 2010. I had just relocated from the US, and living in Wellington, New Zealand was definitely a whole lot different from the US. The day after I landed here, I began a full time job, but I still had a whole lot of free time after 5pm. I was cooking a lot of new dishes from various cuisines so the blog was born to document my cooking for my friends and family to follow what we are upto as a newly married couple and to see what we were eating!Thanks for visting my spot!
