Make sure you get up under the skin as much as possible with that buttery herb mixture. The butter is what helps the skin get that crispy goodness that we love. So make sure you use it all.

Lemon is my favorite accent with chicken and or veggies or even fish for that matter. I always use this lemon juicer, and lemon zester, both are super easy to use. It just adds that bit of freshness that makes the dish pop! Lemons are as crucial flavor enhancer as salt is in my opinion. So for that reason I always, always have lemons on hand!
