Notes
Ingredients:
- No need to add extra salt in the gravy or do taste before adding more salt.
- You can use 1 cup of freshly made Chicken Broth or stock instead of Water and Chicken Stock Cube.
- Don't overcook the chicken or burn the outer skin.
- After adding lemon juice don't increase the heat and don't cook for a long time. Otherwise, the gravy can turn bitter in taste.
- Also, remove lemon slices from the gravy after a while to avoid bitterness.
