- Cuisine: Greek
- Category: Drink
- Language: en

## Ingredients

- 1 whole chicken
- lemon juice
- lemon zest
- egg mixture
- rice

## Instructions

1. Use a whole chicken for the richest flavor.
2. When making the sauce, use both the lemon juice and zest for that extra zingy flavor.
3. Once the rice is tender, shred the chicken.
4. Slowly whisk in the egg mixture to create that signature creamy texture.

## Tips

- For the richest flavor, always use a whole chicken rather than chicken breast because so much depth comes from the chicken fat and bones.
