Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
Chicken can be macerated with many other sauces: for example, if you like sweet and sour, you can add a tablespoon of honey to the lemon maceration, enrich it with stronger spices (eg curry), or if the meat is stringy. , I recommend adding a jar of yogurt to the tanning! The secret is to prepare it in time to ensure that the chicken is enriched with taste.Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
