Lemon-Fried Chicken (Southern Living 1979)

A variation on our chicken meals, this recipe from the May section of Southern Living 1979 was good and very easy to put together.  It was nice to have Little Miss help make the lemon sauce, and then we were able to just pour it over the chicken and do other things together while it simmered.  A quick and tasty dish is always refreshing for a weeknight meal.
