5. Crush lemon zest with your fingers until powdery.


6. Place dried zest in a bowl (about 1 1/2 tablespoons worth)
   and add pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. (This is a mild lemon
   pepper seasoning. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.) Set aside.


7. Drizzle chicken lightly with olive oil and toss with 1
   teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning.

11. Refrigerate until ready to fry or at least for 30 minutes to

    slice of onion and a clove of garlic to my oil, optional)


13. Fry chicken (about 10 minutes) until golden brown.


14. Let chicken drain on a cooling rack with paper towels
    underneath.


15. While chicken is draining, quickly make lemon butter by
    melting butter in a large pot.


16. Stir in pepper, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. (add
    more seasoning if desired)


17. Right before you add the chicken into the mixture stir in
    the lemon juice.


18. Toss hot chicken into the lemon butter until coated.


19. Place on a cooling rack and IMMEDIATELY sprinkle with the
    remaining lemon pepper seasoning on the top and bottom of the chicken.

    half a lemon, salt, and fresh black pepper. Let sit for a few minutes for lemon
    juice to absorb and enjoy!
