4 Reviews of Pharaonic Chicken

This recipe deserves a 5-star for flavor — it was ALL there, and DH declared the chicken "Splendiferous!" even though I substituted orange for the lemon juice, and left off the cheese. My one disappointment with the dish was that the sauce didn't stick to the chicken or potatoes — it was so oily it was much more of a "dipping sauce" (perhaps this is what makes it Egyptian!!). BUT by mashing the potatoes into most of the dish's sauce I took full advantage of the flavorful juices. With this adjustment, it was a 5-star meal that I will definitely make again.

Wonderful flavor, cooked this for friends and they all loved it and wanted the recipe. Unlike the other review, my sauce didn't come out oily, as a matter of fact next time I will tweak the recipe to get a little more sauce

This is a standy of mine. It's super easy, can work for a fancy meal, or as a good old supper. I do cut back on the oil a bit. I love the way the potatoes get very lemony. And the sweetness of the sugar and spices are a nice change.

The chicken was a good flavour. The potatoes had a alright lemon taste to them but as they were boiled that's how they came out of the oven, not browned at all. Maybe they are not meant to be crisped or have any colour but I didn't like them this way and didnt think DH would either so I didnt even try to serve this to him. I used the potatoes in Linda's Special Potato Salad which turned out great. I will not make this dish again.
