  2. Now turn the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and place in the ovenproof dish. Now brush the chicken pieces generously with the liquid butter. Now put the mold in the oven preheated to 200 degrees and bake the chicken in it for 30 minutes.
  3. After 30 minutes, take the ovenproof dish out of the oven, turn the chicken pieces and spread the COLD lemon sauce over the chicken pieces and then bake in the oven for another 20-25 minutes.

rice

  1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and fry the onion until translucent, then add the rice and fry for about 1 minute while stirring. Now add so much boiling water that the water is approx. 2 cm above the rice, put the lid on and simmer for approx. 12 minutes at the lowest temperature, do not stir under any circumstances. Now turn off the stove and leave it on for another 10 minutes.
  2. Then fluff the rice, season with salt and pepper and mix in the spring onions and parsley.
