Pollo Fricto Con Limone (Chicken Fried with Diced Lemon)

A strange but surprisingly tasty dish. From Messisbugo 1557.

Rub chicken with salt to taste and brown in olive oil. Drain off excess oil.

Squeeze juice of 3 lemons and cut remaining 1 ½ lemons into ½-inch dice. Add lemon juice and diced lemons to pan, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Uncover and simmer 5 to 10 minutes longer, turning chicken to glaze all sides.

Combine sugar and ground peppercorns and pass with chicken for diners to season to taste. Makes 4 servings.
