This past weekend saw us trying this wonderful Chardonnay and roasted chicken. My wife whipped up her usual lemon and red pepper roasted chicken. I made sure there was tons of tart and yummy lemons, thinly sliced, placed all over the chicken. The thinner you slice the lemons, the more juice is extracted as it [...]
