This Lemon Garlic Chicken is a copycat of a signature dish at Al Aseel, a popular Lebanese restaurant in Sydney. Tender marinated chicken smothered in a special lemon garlic sauce, it’s outrageously good and making it at home is easy!
Lebanese Lemon Garlic Chicken – Al Aseel copycat
Al Aseel’s Lemon Garlic Chicken
Al Aseel proudly declares itself to be “Sydney’s best Lebanese restaurant” – a bold claim, but who am I to argue? I haven’t personally tried every Lebanese spot in Sydney (though that sounds like a challenge I’d happily accept!).
What I do know is that their signature Lemon Garlic Chicken has a bit of a cult following, and when a reader asked me to recreate it, I was happy to oblige.
Plus, it turned out to be surprisingly easy to recreate. A nice reprieve after the 48 versions it took to create last weeks’ Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Yogurt marinade and yogurt sauce
The key ingredient in this Al Aseel copycat recipe is yogurt. It’s used in the garlicky marinade (yogurt is an excellent flavour carrier, as Greek Gyros fans can attest) , it makes the flavour stick to the chicken as it sears, and it’s the base of the creamy garlic lemon sauce that smothers the chicken.
By the way, the Lemon Garlic Yogurt Sauce is served warm, which might sound a bit unusual (warm yogurt??), but please trust. I thought the same the first time I tried this dish at Al Aseel, and happy to find I was completely wrong – it’s fabulous!

For the marinade
I don’t know if Al Aseel uses a yogurt marinade, but it’s an excellent flavour carrier and tenderiser. The chicken is so juicy inside, you will be amazed. (Juicier than at the restaurant).
