Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken
  • lemon juice
  • lemon zest
  • eggs
  • rice
  • water

Tips

  • Always use a whole chicken rather than chicken breast for the best avgolemono result, as flavor comes from the chicken fat and bone.
  • Use both the juice and zest of a lemon when whisking the eggs to add extra zing to the broth.
  • Whisk in the egg mixture to create a creamy consistency.
