Recipes from the Best of the Best: Michel Richard's Lemon Chicken
We've long treasured the flavorful spark that citrus brings to cooking, and we've been adding flurries of zest and showers of juice to our food for as long we can remember.

Richard roasts whole lemons for two hours, which focuses their sweet and tart flavor.

The flavor is unforgettable, and we're already thinking of other ways to use this new form of seasoning. Get the recipe here.
