Lemonade Fried Chicken

Ingredients:

1 can (6 oz.) frozen lemonade concentrate

3/4 c water

2-4 chicken breasts

1/3 c. flour

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. oil
2 t. melted butter



Directions:
Mix together lemonade (I used half the can) and water; pour over chicken in a bowl. Refrigerate 2 hours or longer. (I did this part in the morning before leaving for work. Mine marinated all day.) Drain liquid. Mix together the flour, salt and pepper in a plastic ziploc baggie. Add well drained chicken to the bag, close and shake until chicken is coated in flour. Heat oil in large skillet or frying pan over moderate heat. Add floured chicken, cook until evenely browned, turning pieces over carefully. Once chicken is browned, remove and arrange in a shallow baking dish. Brush with melted butter. Add the other half of the lemonade. Bake uncovered at 350 for 50 mins to an hour. Spoon lemonade in pan over chicken several times as it bakes. Serve with favorite sides. Make 2-4 servings.

Review: If you like lemon, you will love this recipe. The chicken is tender and juicy. . It's good, but has a definite lemon kick. We had more fun trying to think of variations of this chicken dish. We used the same recipe except changed the lemonade to frozen orange juice. We cooked it the exact same way and served with stir fry vegetables and edamame. It was just as good as an orange chicken from a chinese food restaurant. Our next attempt willl be to swith the lemonade with a limeade and do some kind of tequilla lime chicken on the grill. The possibilities are endless. Have fun experimenting!
