Juicy Chicken with Lemon Marinade

I recommend trying it. A little fiddling, but the payoff is pleasant. Whole baked chicken does not always turn out juicy, especially white meat. With lemon marinade, chicken meat is baked evenly juicy, it does not allow the meat to lose its juice. The same effect as in kebab.
