Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (5 pound) chicken
4 heads garlic, top 1-inch cut off
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium lemon, halved
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
  • Mix together salt and pepper in a small bowl and set aside. Pat chicken dry and rub all over with 1 of the garlic heads. Rub all over (under skin too) with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place 1 garlic head and 1 lemon half in the chicken cavity.
  • Arrange remaining garlic, lemon, and onion on the bottom of a 3 to 4-quart baking dish to create a bed. Place chicken on top, add broth to baking dish, and cover tightly with foil. Roast until chicken reaches 135 to 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour.
  • Remove foil, brush chicken with pan juices, and increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Roast, basting occasionally, until temperature of chicken on inner thigh is 165 degrees F, skin is golden brown, and juices run clear, about 30 to 40 minutes more.
  • Let rest 10 minutes before carving. Meanwhile, pour pan juices into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until thickened, about 7 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired. Carve chicken and serve each portion with 1 head of garlic and pan sauce.

SLOW-ROASTED GARLIC & LEMON CHICKEN

I cannot claim this recipe as my own. Its actually a Nigella Lawson recipe (thanks Lifestyle Channel in Australia!!!). It is a super easy and extremely tasty one-pot recipe. I make it summer and winter, but I can see why it is good for summer due to the lightness of the dish. Perfect with either the full contingency of roast veg or equally with a nice light salad, cold or warm.

Time 17m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 roasting chicken, cut into 10 pieces
1 head garlic, separated into unpeeled clove
2 lemons, unwaxed and cut into 8 pieces
fresh thyme
3 tablespoons olive oil
150 ml white wine
black pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 160ºC.
  • Put the chicken pieces into a roasting tin and add garlic cloves, lemon chunks and the thyme; just roughly pull the leaves off the stalks, leaving some intact for strewing over later.
  • Add the oil and using your hands mix everything together, then spread the mixture out, making sure all the chicken pieces are skin side up.
  • Sprinkle over the white wine and grind on some pepper, then cover tightly with foil and put in the oven to cook, at flavour-intensifying low heat, for 2 hours.
  • Remove the foil from the roasting tin, and turn up the oven to 200ºC and cook the uncovered chicken for another 30-45 minutes, by which time the skin on the meat will have turned golden brown and the lemons will have begun to scorch and caramelise at the edges.
  • Serve straight from the roasting tin to plate.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 green garlic bulbs
1 (3 1/2-4-pound) chicken
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 cup peeled garlic cloves
1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges, seeds removed
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Trim dark tops from green garlic and place in chicken cavity; loosely tie legs together with kitchen twine. Halve green garlic bulbs and pale-green parts. Place chicken in a 2-qt. baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Tuck green garlic, garlic cloves, and lemon wedges around (make sure everything fits snugly to keep garlic from getting too dark); pour oil over. Roast, turning garlic and lemon occasionally, until chicken is very tender and garlic is soft and deeply caramelized, 2 1/2-3 hours. Serve chicken with garlic and lemon alongside.

Tips:

  • For a crispy skin, pat the chicken dry before seasoning and roasting.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed roasting pan to evenly distribute heat and prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature for the first 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to allow the chicken to cook through without drying out.
  • Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 20-30 minutes to keep it moist.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the oven.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
