Chef's Notes
Do not skip the whisking step in the emulsion phase. A properly bound oil and acid mixture clings to the poultry far better than a separated puddle.
Pro Tip
Pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels before tossing it into the marinade for superior sear and maximum flavor adhesion.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Leaving the chicken in the citrus bath overnight, resulting in a terrifying bowl of pre-cooked, mealy poultry mush that even the kingdom dogs would reject.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
They call this a 'Mediterranean' marinade, which I suppose is just fancy speak for 'I ran out of ideas for dinner.'
The Culinary Science
The citric acid in lemons acts as a tenderizer by denaturing the surface proteins of the chicken, but leaving it too long turns the meat unpleasantly mushy.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
