Georgia O'Keeffe Recipe Pt. I - Baked Chicken with Lemon - Easy

Today and tomorrow I will be doing cross-over postings.  If I am lucky, my short (and by short I mean minuscule) article about the painter Georgia O'Keeffe will appear in today's Art Round Table.  A food-related article, of course, because I'm a better judge of eats than I am of arts. 

But since recipes really belong in a food blog, my take on a couple of dishes O'Keeffe enjoyed, thanks to a book written by one of her caretakers, will be posted here.

Today's recipe is a simple baked chicken with lemon.  The original calls for a whole chicken, which I inconveniently did not have on hand.  Also, the original uses 2 lemons, one for inside the bird and one for outside. Because I used parts, all of the inside was outside, so only 1 lemon was necessary.  If you make the original, you'll need both.

Cut lemon in half; squeeze each half over chicken  Then sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and garlic.

Serve hot with your favorite veggie.

The part of O'Keeffe's chows will be played tonight by a beagle.
