ROASTED GARLIC-GLAZED CHICKEN WITH LEMON-HERB SAUCE
Recipe courtesy From Emeril's Kitchens, by Emeril Lagasse. Different way of preparing chicken and best part is that it's all done in 1 or 2 pans depending on how large of an oven proof skillet you have. The herbs and the garlic glaze are just heavenly to smell and devour. This was a huge hit in my home and even the kid enjoyed it. Prep time includes the 1 hour for roasting the garlic as this can be done ahead of time.

GLAZED HERB CHICKEN
The orange flavor really comes through in the sauce that nicely coats this grilled chicken. I like to garnish it with fresh orange segments and a sprinkling of green chives for a pretty look. -Jill Smith of Irmo, South Carolina

Tips:
- Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for a whole chicken or chicken pieces that are fresh, plump, and have a slightly pink color. Avoid chicken that has an off smell or discoloration.
- Properly Clean and Pat Dry: Before cooking, rinse the chicken thoroughly with cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps remove any bacteria and ensures the chicken cooks evenly.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage enhance the flavor of the chicken. Chop them finely and rub them under the skin or sprinkle them on top before cooking.
- Generously Season the Chicken: Season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and other desired spices. You can also use a store-bought poultry seasoning blend.
- Glaze the Chicken: For a flavorful and glossy glaze, combine melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, and a touch of lemon juice. Brush the glaze onto the chicken during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- Roast at the Right Temperature: Roast the chicken at a high temperature initially (425°F) to create a crispy skin, then reduce the temperature (350°F) for the remaining cooking time to ensure the chicken cooks through evenly.
- Monitor the Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. Poultry is safe to consume when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
