Most non-vegetarians prefer chicken to red meat, as it has low amounts of saturated fatty acids. A number of delectable dishes can be prepared by using it with different combinations. Lemon can be used to make it more aromatic and flavorsome. The tart flavor gives a better taste to any non-vegetarian dish. You can use it to improve the flavor of chicken grills or roasts.
