Variation

Instead of using a whole chicken, use 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lb.), cut in half, so you have a total of 8 pieces. Prepare dressing mixture as directed. Discard lemon halves. Pour dressing mixture over chicken in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 45 to 55 min. or until chicken is cooked through (180°F), basting occasionally.
