Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 teaspoons lemon zest, from 3 large lemons
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
3 lemons, sliced 1/3 inch thick (see Cook's Note)
1 (3 1/2 pound) chicken, back bone and breast bone removed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl combine the lemon zest, thyme, rosemary and salt.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Lay the lemon slices in the olive oil down the middle of the tray as a "rack" for the chicken. Sprinkle one-third of the salt rub on the underside of the chicken. Turn the chicken over and rub the remaining salt mixture over and under the skin of the whole chicken. Lay the chicken, skin side up, on the bed of lemons and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Roast, basting every 15 minutes, until golden brown and an instant read thermometer read 160 degrees F in the thigh, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  • Meanwhile, using a fork, mash the lemon pulp into the juices on the baking sheet, discarding the rind. Mix the pulp into the drippings and use this mixture to spoon over the chicken just before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer: Cooking chicken to the right temperature is essential for food safety and taste. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will cause the chicken to steam instead of sear, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest: Fresh lemon juice and zest add a bright, citrusy flavor to the chicken. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice and zest, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Adjust the spiciness to your taste: The amount of cayenne pepper in this recipe is adjustable to your taste. If you like a milder dish, use less cayenne pepper. If you like a spicier dish, use more.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This lemon pepper chicken is delicious served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This lemon pepper chicken recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is both flavorful and healthy. The combination of lemon, pepper, and garlic creates a delicious crust on the chicken, while the inside remains moist and tender. Serve this chicken with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
