Zesty & Juicy Lemon Chicken | Better Than Restaurant! | How to make Lemon Chicken at Home

Start with 500 g of chicken in a mixing bowl.

Add 1/4 cup beaten yogurt, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 teaspoon black pepper powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 and 1/2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste, and 1 teaspoon garam masala.

Mix everything well to coat the chicken evenly.

Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.

In a pan, heat 2-3 tablespoon oil.

Add 2 small bay leaves, 2 small cinnamon sticks, 4-5 whole black pepper, 2 cardamom pods, and 2-3 cloves.

Now add the marinated chicken.

Cook on medium heat, flipping occasionally to fry both sides until nicely golden.

Add the remaining marinade from the bowl.

Cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the chicken is fully done.

In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup water with 1 teaspoon corn flour.

Pour the corn flour mixture over the chicken.

Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the gravy thickens and turns glossy.

Sprinkle a bit more black pepper powder and add some lemon slices.

Cook for just one more minute.
