Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 small onions
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, (each about 4 inches long)
2 small lemons
1 tablespoon rice-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 whole chicken, (3 to 3 1/2 pounds)
Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Thinly slice 1 onion. Strip the needles from the rosemary, and finely chop them; reserve the sprigs. Grate the zest from 1 lemon.
  • In a small glass or ceramic bowl, combine sliced onion, chopped rosemary, lemon zest, vinegar, mustard, juice from zested lemon, salt, and pepper. Mix well, and set mixture aside.
  • Cut the remaining onion and lemon in half crosswise. Pierce each end with a small, sharp knife. Insert the reserved rosemary sprigs, like skewers, through the holes in the onion and lemon halves.
  • Rub the mustard mixture over the outside of the chicken and inside the cavities. Insert a rosemary "skewer"; in the cavity. Put the chicken in a shallow pan, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill, arranging the coals for indirect cooking. Lightly coat the grilling rack with cooking spray. The coals should be moderately hot.
  • Remove the chicken from the shallow pan, and place over the cooler part of the grill. Cover with aluminum foil, and roast until the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a fork and an instant-read thermometer registers 180 degrees when inserted into thickest part of thigh (1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes); turn 3 or 4 times during grilling. Add fresh coals to the fire as necessary to maintain a moderate heat. If using a gas grill, adjust the far burner to medium.
  • Let the chicken sit 10 minutes. Remove onion and lemon from cavity. Carve, and serve.

Lemony Chicken With Potatoes and Oregano image

This might be the easiest roast chicken and potatoes recipe out there. Roasting lemon slices with the potatoes infuses them with a bright, zippy flavor. Then, you can eat the roasted lemon or not - the caramelized, intense flavor is for true lemon lovers only. Serve this with one or two of your favorite condiments on the side for dipping the potatoes.

Categories     dinner, poultry, roasts, vegetables, main course

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lemons
1 1/4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (2 to 3), patted dry with paper towels (see Tip)
1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed, halved and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 3/4 teaspoons dried oregano, plus more for serving
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more for serving
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees and, if you like, line a sheet pan with parchment paper (not essential but helpful for cleaning up).
  • Trim the ends off 1 lemon, then cut the lemon in half crosswise.Thinly slice one half of the lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds into quarters, creating small triangles. Shake out the seeds then place the lemon quarters into a large bowl. Save the remaining lemon half for serving. Cut the remaining whole lemon into wedges, for serving.
  • Add chicken and potatoes to the large bowl with the lemon quarters. Add the oregano, salt and pepper; toss well. (Your hands are the best tools here.) Drizzle in the oil and toss again.
  • Arrange chicken thighs skin side up on one half of the prepared sheet pan, and potatoes and lemons on the other, spreading the potatoes out into one layer. Roast for 20 minutes. Using a long-handled spoon, stir the potatoes, then spread them out again in one layer. (You don't have to touch the chicken.) Continue roasting until chicken and potatoes are cooked through and everything is golden and crisped, another 15 to 20 minutes (40 to 45 minutes total roasting time).
  • To serve, squeeze the juice from the lemon half all over chicken and potatoes and give everything a good stir to incorporate all the tasty juices and browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with more oregano and salt, and serve with additional lemon wedges and condiments on the side.

ROASTED LEMON ROSEMARY CHICKEN



Roasted Lemon Rosemary Chicken image

This roasted chicken takes a little preparation and a little patience. Browning the chicken before roasting it gets a little messy. The small hassle is time well spent, though; the flavor is superior to that of more simply prepared roasts.

Provided by Cucina Casalingo

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
16 white pearl onions, peeled and trimmed
5 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 celery ribs, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 garlic cloves, separated and peeled
1 3/4 teaspoons salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1 (4 -5 lb) roasting chickens, rinsed and patted dry
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/3 cup Chardonnay wine
1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic cloves, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  • When the vegetables are caramelized, spoon them along the sides of a large roasting pan and set it aside.
  • Reduce the burner heat slightly and allow the pan to cool a bit.
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to pan and return the pan to medium-high heat.
  • Season the prepared chicken with the remaining salt and pepper, and brown it in the hot oil.
  • Transfer the chicken to the center of the roasting pan, carefully cut 1-inch slits into the skin, and pour the pan juices on top of the chicken.
  • Very carefully pull open the slits in the skin and rub the lemon zest, parsley, rosemary, and thyme under the skin.
  • Add the wine to the skillet and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  • After the wine has simmered for 30 seconds, add the chicken stock and heat through.
  • Pour the wine sauce over the chicken. Cover the roasting pan with a lid or tightly sealed foil and roast in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, until the chicken tests 170 when a thermometer is inserted in the thigh.
  • Allow the chicken to stand at room temperature in the pan for 10 minutes before carving.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND ROSEMARY



Roast Chicken With Lemon and Rosemary image

This is from Emeril Lagasse. I changed the recipe around a bit. The sauce is absolutely wonderful, and the chicken has lots of flavor. I served this with Recipe #72501.

Provided by Chill

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/2-4 lbs chicken, I used a 7lb
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons cracked pepper
1 lemon, halved (I used 2)
2 bay leaves
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
4 sprigs rosemary, roughly chopped, plus 1 tbsp for gravy (I used approx 4 tbsp total)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons roasted garlic (throw a head in the oven while cooking chicken, to roast)
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Emeril's directions were preheat oven to 500 degrees F and cook for 40-50 minutes, but I preheated the oven to 350 and cooked for approx 2 1/2 hours.
  • So, here's the directions.
  • Season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Squeeze the lemon halves over the chicken and place the rinds inside the chicken. Place the bay leaves inside the chicken as well.
  • In a small bowl combine the garlic, rosemary, olive oil and butter. Rub the chicken with the blend and place in a roasting pan.
  • Roast until the chicken breast registers around 180-185 degree. Remove chicken saving juices (not fat).
  • Place roast pan over high heat adding stock, roasted garlic, wine and rosemary to the juices. Bring to a boil and reduce gravy by half, until somewhat thick. Serve with chicken and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Opt for a whole chicken that is between 3 and 4 pounds. This size will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and is not too dry.
  • Prep the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat from the cavity and truss the chicken if desired.
  • Season the chicken: Generously season the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. For a classic flavor combination, use a mixture of rosemary, thyme, and garlic.
  • Roast the chicken: Place the chicken in a roasting pan and drizzle it with olive oil. Roast the chicken in a preheated oven at 425°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and keep the chicken moist.

Conclusion:

Roast chicken with lemon and rosemary is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and juicy chicken that the whole family will love. This classic dish is sure to become a favorite in your home.
