For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the lemon juice and spices for at least 30 minutes before baking. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can whisk in a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water during the last 15 minutes of baking. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or thyme for added freshness.
