Amanda Hessers chicken with Coke and lemon
'Finally, dont stress over what to cook. Amanda Hessers chicken with Coke and lemon, unearthed from the archives, is worth your time.
It is, improbably, a French receipt, a creation of the French cookbook writer Frédérick Grasser-Hermé that Amanda adapted as she faced down a glut of lemons in the fall of 2005. I was dubious, Margaux said, but I neednt have been. The dish, she said, was absolutely delicious and very moist. Im game to try it. You in?'
