I love this slow-cooking lemon chicken and I recommend you try it. It’s the perfect recipe if you’re a big fan of citrus.
By the time you eat this lemon chicken, it will be full of lovely citrus flavors. It will have a slight hint of sweetness from the brown sugar and a little more flavor from the herbs. It’s an excellent combination that will keep you coming back for seconds.

Recipe Tips
White wine adds more flavor but can be omitted if you do not wish to use it.
You can use other chicken cuts such as chicken breast or chicken sticks.
I recommend using fresh lemon juice for the best results. However, bottled lemon juice will work well if you can’t get fresh lemons.
