I got a book from the antique store where I have a booth and it is called Rao's Cookbook - over 100 yrs of Italian home cooking - a restaurant in Harlem - in which there are many great recipes, including one for " Rao's Famous Lemon Chicken." It is great. It is simple and exceptional.
I understand and appreciate restaurant recipes because I had one for years. They are easy for me to understand and adapt to the home cook. The lemon sauce is the secret in this one, plus the intricate timing and perfect cooking of the chicken.
I have adapted this recipe, which originally involved whole halved chickens, I also have changed the sauce a bit, but owe the entire recipe and concept to Rao's. Recipe follows tomorrow. Thank you.
