Time 2h30m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¾ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch ground cumin
1 (5 pound) whole chicken
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt to taste
1 ¾ cups chicken broth, divided
1 head romaine lettuce, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Drizzle vegetable oil in a large roasting pan.
  • Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and cumin in large bowl.
  • Place chicken in lemon mixture and turn it several times to coat each side. Place chicken breast side down in the marinade, and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • Place chicken breast side up in the prepared roasting pan. Pour about 1/4 of of marinade into the chicken cavity. Brush remaining marinade on the top and sides of the chicken.
  • Sprinkle rosemary, thyme, and salt over top of chicken.
  • Tie chicken legs together with kitchen twine.
  • Roast chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for 45 minutes; remove from oven and spoon juices accumulated in the pan over chicken. Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the pan and continue roasting until chicken skin is browned and meat is no longer pink, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven, spoon juices accumulated in the pan over chicken again, and cover loosely with aluminum foil for 20 minutes.
  • Remove chicken to a platter, draining any juices from the cavity into the pan; cover chicken with aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Set the roasting pan on the stove top over medium-high heat; add 3/4 cup chicken broth and boil, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced by about half, about 10 minutes.
  • Slice chicken into 8 pieces and serve over shredded lettuce in a large bowl. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of pan sauce over the top, tossing to slightly wilt the lettuce leaves. Serve with additional sauce on the side.
