TARRAGON AND LEMON ROAST CHICKEN
This stress-free dish is based on one of my favorite flavor pairings-golden roast chicken and tarragon. The chicken is simply seared on the cooktop, then placed in the oven to bake with zingy lemon, garlic, fresh fennel and tarragon for just 25 minutes. That's dinner, done!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Remove fat from the crop and cavity of the chicken. Remove the neck, gizzards and liver and freeze for another use.
- Squeeze half the lemon all over the skin of the chicken. Season the skin with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the remaining half lemon, garlic and 1 bunch whole tarragon.
- Put the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up, and roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the juices run clear. During the first few minutes, either shake the chicken or move it frequently with a wooden spoon to keep it from sticking.
- When chicken is done, tilt it over the roasting pan to let the cavity juices run into the pan. Remove the chicken to a platter. Pour off the fat from the roasting pan.
- Put the pan on top of the stove. Add the wine and bring the contents of the pan to a boil, while scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Stir in tarragon leaves. Let simmer 5 minutes once the pan is thoroughly deglazed. Serve the pan juices over the chicken or pass it separately in a sauce boat.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers and pat the outside dry. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the thyme, reserving enough thyme to garnish the chicken dish, 1 lemon, halved, and 2 halves of the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Cut 2 of the lemons in quarters and scatter the quarters and remaining garlic around the chicken. Lay the bacon slices over the chicken to cover.
- Roast the chicken for 1 hour. Remove the bacon slices from the top of the chicken and set aside. Continue roasting the chicken for an additional 1/2 hour, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove to a platter and cover with aluminum foil while you prepare the gravy.
- Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the bottom of the pan. Add the wine and chicken stock and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until reduced by half.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a medium-large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper, and lay the pieces in the pan rounded-side down first (the side that had the skin). Cook the chicken, turning only once, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to an oven-proof dish, reserving the skillet. Place the chicken to the oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 170 to 75 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour the vermouth into the reserved skillet, scraping up any browned bits that cling to the pan with a wooden spoon, and cook over medium heat until the liquid reduces by about half. Add the chicken broth and continue to cook until slightly thickened.
- In a small bowl whisk a teaspoon or so of cold water with the cornstarch, then whisk the mixture into the broth and bring to a full boil. Remove from heat and add the zest, lemon juice, and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove the chicken from the oven. Pour any pan drippings from the chicken into the sauce and stir to combine. Divide the chicken pieces between 4 plates. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.

Tips:
- Use a whole chicken for the best flavor. A whole chicken will give you more meat and flavor than just breasts or thighs.
- Make sure the chicken is dry before roasting. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before roasting to help the skin crisp up.
- Roast the chicken on a wire rack. This will allow the air to circulate around the chicken and help it cook evenly.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor of the chicken.
- Add vegetables to the roasting pan. Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions can be added to the roasting pan to create a delicious side dish.
- Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 20 minutes. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest before carving. Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Roasted chicken is a classic dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful roasted chicken that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
