Chicken is one kind of meat, if handled properly can be converted into beautiful dishes. It goes well with every cuisine, be it Indian, Italian or American.
I usually prepare it the Indian way, but as I like to try different versions of it, I though why not bake it with some different flavors. We usually get roasted chicken in US served with veggies/mashed potatoes. And I love mashed potatoes. I don't care how many calories they have. I just love them :).
Coming back to chicken again, this is one of the many variations you can make it with. I didn't wanna wait for any kind of marination to happen, so thought of preparing it without marination. Else you can leave the chicken to marinate in the lemon/orange mixture for an hour or so in the refrigerator.
This recipe take very less time to prep, and rest of the magic is being done in oven. Best to make when you have guests coming over and you don't want to spend your time in the kitchen instead of talking to your guests. :)
