GARLIC-ROSEMARY ROAST CHICKEN WITH JUS



Garlic-Rosemary Roast Chicken With Jus image

Don't be put off by the recipe length- it's actually quite easy and makes a really elegant meal. The garlic is not overpowering- the chicken gets a very nice balance of flavors. We like to toss extra cloves in the bottom of the pan with the juices and mash them when they are roasted to spread on fresh crusty bread. Prep time includes brining time.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY-GARLIC PASTE



Roast Chicken With Rosemary-Garlic Paste image

This is so very moist and delicious! If you can find an organic chicken ( and can afford it nowadays), it will be juicier than one that's conventionally raised. (better for you too.) In this recipe, the chicken is butterflied for quicker cooking. I add pieces of the lemon that I squeeze the lemon juice from around the chicken for even more flavor. If you can't find the juniper berries in your neck of the woods, use a few teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, it still makes a wonderful roast chicken. Depending on your oven, this may take less then 90 minutes, check after 70 minutes. Other herbs can be used in place of the rosemary, such as thyme or sage. This is actually better if you prepare it ahead of time before roasting and let it set in the fridge. This is adapted from a Deborah Madison recipe from Bon Appetit, Feb. 2008. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!

5 juniper berries
2 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp black peppercorns
3/4 tsp salt
4 tsp olive oil

Tips:

  • Prep ahead: Marinate the chicken overnight or for at least 30 minutes before roasting for maximum flavor.
  • Use a roasting pan with a rack: This allows the chicken to cook evenly and prevents it from sitting in its own juices.
  • Roast at a high temperature: This will help the chicken skin crisp up and brown beautifully.
  • Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 20 minutes or so: This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy chicken.

With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and succulent chicken that's perfect for any occasion.
