Preparation Steps

  1. Marinate the Chicken

    Season the chicken with garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Let it marinate for as long as possible (preferably overnight).

    In a bowl, place the functional flour mix; coat the chicken pieces with this mixture thoroughly. Arrange the pieces in a greased baking dish with olive oil and place in a preheated oven.
