Sticky Citrus Chicken

Once in a while recipes get forgotten about in the deepest darkest depths of my cookbook, and this is one of them. Until I made it last night I had forgotten how much I liked it. It was meant to have garlic in it, but I had forgotten to buy any, however I have to admit that both hubby and I thought it tasted better without! We had it with egg fried rice. When you marinade the chicken briefly in the lemon juice it helps to tenderise it.

After the appalling summer we're only just beginning to harvest the veg. The carrots are only about 5cm long, but they are so tasty. The tomato plant is covered in pea sized tomatoes, but I doubt they will ripen before the frost. The onions, I expect that they are so tiny they will only be suitable for pickling. Oh well....
