This is a 4 star recipe. I would have given it 5, but my husBand objected to having a mouth full of lemon wedges and herbs! I found that 35 minutes in the oven was needed, but maybe that is my oven and personal taste. Served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STARS. I CANNOT USE THEM!!!! THEY SAY I GAVE 5 STARS, I GAVE 4!!!!
