People sometimes look at this recipe and misjudge it, saying “this is lemon chicken.” Oh, but it’s not. Try it and see. With this recipe there is a certain alchemy in the combination of the marinade ingredients, the chicken, and the marinating time (48 hours), that lets magic unfold. This leads us to its name: Heroine Chicken. Without a doubt, you are a hero every time you make it. It is as good the next day cold as it was coming out of the oven. Why this list of ingredients, in just these proportions, cooked just this way? I don’t know, but it’s a little piece of magic that I’m not going to question.
