Grapefruit on Roast Chicken? Amanda Freitag Puts It to the Test

The lines are officially open! In the very first episode of Ask Amanda: Chef on the Line, chef Amanda Freitag and her friend and sidekick Kedzie Teller kick things off with Lusty Lemon Chicken, the dish that helped Amanda reach the Next Iron Chef finals. Amanda shows you how to make it at home with crispy skin, juicy meat, charred lemons, and a Parmesan broth you’ll want to eat by the spoonful. Along the way, she takes questions from home cooks, shares the story behind the recipe’s cheeky name, and explains the little techniques that make a big difference. Then Kedzie inspires a citrus experiment: can grapefruit, orange, or lime give lemon a run for its money?
