First, we prepare the sauce by mixing the lemon juice, its grated skin, the cinnamon, the soy sauce and the honey. We paint the suitably seasoned chicken pieces with this mixture. Let rest.
After the marinating time has elapsed, we put the chicken pieces in the oven preheated to 190 degrees (364 F) and leave them for about 45 minutes, turning them from time to time. It is usually served with vegetables and sprinkled with chopped parsley, although it is optional.
