Tasty and saucy BBQ chicken to serve to your family on a weeknight. This is your new no-fail easy dinner recipe!

While I love a good fried chicken with its crispy skin and all, I also have a good relationship with BBQ chicken and its deep, robust flavor.

Yes, a breaded chicken is a winner in my books, but a  saucy, roasted chicken is delicious in its own way. This lemon BBQ chicken is boosted in flavor by the barbeque marinade, with the lemon to add a hint of freshness and flavor contrast.

And let me add that it is fork-tender too.

You guys, I am actually a lucky girl. I live with my nanay who is a serious and passionate cook. She is the master of the kitchen. I rarely have to worry about what to cook next, or what to feed the family. My nanay has got us covered.

But when it comes to simple, easy cooking, I must say I have gathered a few recipes for those times that I really have to cook. And this is one of them.

And this recipe is a winner for me because:

  • It requires minimal chopping.
  • It cooks in one dish.
  • You place it in the oven, leave it there and check after an hour or so.
