The
chicken is juicy when baked in the oven (I was recently told that it’s
better to use the word “bake” when you make something in the oven even if it’s
not bread, cookies or a cake, but in Sweden we say “ugnssteka” in this case,
which means “fry in the oven”! :-D). It’s got a lovely taste of lemon, honey,
garlic and herbs, whatever you choose to call the cooking method.
