Roasted Garlic-Glazed Chicken With Lemon-Herb Sauce image

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.

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.
