The star of this lemon caper chicken recipe is a simple sauce with bold, memorable flavor. Three easy ingredients – capers, parsley, and butter, plus one secret ingredient (the brine from the caper jar) come together into a rich and piquant sauce that will have you licking the plate.

The versatile sauce pairs well with chicken breast, but if you have a little more time on your hands the sauce can certainly be served with thicker skin-on chicken breasts or thighs, a pork chop or tenderloin, a pan-seared fillet of fish or roasted vegetables.

Every home cook should have a no-fail recipe for oven-roasted chicken, one you can count on to always deliver golden skin and juicy, flavorful meat.

If you cook your chicken spatchcock style, it will cook much faster and more evenly than it would if you left it whole.

Chicken is a great Primal protein on its own. Add in herby ranch flavor and a fast cook time from the air fryer? Perfection.

The air fryer’s quick cooking time means it cooks before it has had a chance for the chicken to dry out. With only six ingredients, a few minutes of prep time, and 25 minutes hands-off in the air fryer, this ranch chicken will become a go-to recipe for those busy nights.
