Chicken is always a pampered ingredient, which can amalgamate with any supportive ingredients and can transform into entirely a new dish. In this recipe, I went with the thinly sliced chicken breasts, which gets cooked quickly when compared to other parts of the chicken.
Give a final wash with vinegar to remove any foul smell from the chicken pieces. This is the basic tip, which I always follow if my recipe does not require ginger and garlic. My son would bounce back the chicken plates if it has traces of foul smell. So I always make it as a routine with vinegar wash or ginger and garlic addition.
This cedar grilled lemon chicken is best suited for the chicken breasts, chicken tenderloin. I love to have Rotini Pasta along with this chicken.
