This recipe was given to me by my aunt and I must really thank her for that. She had mentioned that it stays good for a week in the refrigerator. Though I am not sure of it, as everything was wiped off within a day. I couldn’t really check if it does stay good for that time.

Do watch out for the space here as I am going to try the same with mutton too. I am sure it would taste awesome with the mutton.

Try to use fresh garlic and fresh lemon juice. As the ready made garlic paste and the lemon juice comes along with preservatives, the taste would slightly vary. The freshly ground garlic would fill your home with amazing aroma.

The garlic lemon chicken recipe could be served along with rice or roti. As we have a good amount of curry in it, it tastes awesome with both. I have served it along with khichdi recipe. But you can even serve it along with some plain rice and dal.
