SLOW-ROASTED GARLIC & LEMON CHICKEN



Slow-Roasted Garlic & Lemon Chicken image

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.

Provided by ozzygirl

Categories     One Dish Meal

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.

GARLIC AND ROSEMARY LEMON-ROASTED CHICKEN



Garlic and Rosemary Lemon-Roasted Chicken image

This roasted chicken recipe is a family favorite. Cooks juicy, tender chicken every time.

Provided by Shaelyn

Time 2h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 medium lemon
½ medium onion
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon ground sage
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground thyme
½ teaspoon ground basil
½ teaspoon ground rosemary
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (4 pound) whole chicken
1 cup arugula
6 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
7 tablespoons garlic-infused ghee, divided
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Roll the lemon and cut in half lengthwise. Slice one half into quarters and set the other half aside for baking and basting. Cut onion into 4 pieces; slice one piece and sprinkle on the prepared baking sheet. Set remaining onion pieces aside.
  • Mix garlic salt, sage, turmeric, basil, rosemary, and pepper together until well combined; divide evenly into 2 bowls.
  • Rinse chicken in cold water and dry off. Trim and discard excess fat and separate skin from meat. Stuff inside of the chicken with arugula, 4 lemon slices, 3 onion pieces, and garlic cloves. Tie the legs together with twine. Spread 2 tablespoons ghee underneath the skin and another 2 tablespoons ghee on top of the skin, all over the chicken.
  • Add 2 tablespoon ghee and butter to one bowl of spices. Microwave for 45 seconds. Stir and spread underneath the skin. Microwave remaining 1 tablespoon ghee and brush on top of skin. Sprinkle remaining seasoning all over chicken and pat into the skin; do not rub. Lightly squeeze some of the remaining lemon half on top of chicken and place chicken, breast-side up, on the onion slices on the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting with juices and remaining lemon juice every 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing, continuing to baste.

LEMON GARLIC SLOW COOK CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY



Lemon Garlic Slow Cook Chicken Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: whole chicken, lemons, garlic, fresh rosemary, salt, pepper

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole chicken, based on the size of your slow cooker - a 1.3kg chicken should just about fit into a 3.5L slow cooker - while a 6.5L would probably fit a 2kg chicken
4 lemons
10 cloves garlic, 8 whole and 2 halved
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Remove any giblets etc. from the cavity of the chicken, sometimes in a small bag.
  • Stuff chicken with 1 sprig of rosemary, 1 lemon (quartered) and 4 cloves garlic.
  • Season all sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Remove both ends of a lemon, cut in half to create very thick slices.
  • Line the bottom of the slow cooker with 4 lemon slices, 4 whole garlic cloves and a sprig of rosemary.
  • Put the chicken in the slow cooker.
  • Cut 2 garlic cloves in half and put all four pieces on top of the chicken along with the 2 remaining lemon slices.
  • Garnish with 1-2 more sprigs of rosemary. Put the lid on the slow cooker and set to high for 4 hours.
  • Place cooked chicken under the grill (broil) for 10 minutes to crisp the skin (optional).
  • Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Leftover juices in the slow cooker are mostly lemon juice with a bit of chicken fat and can be used sparingly as a strongly flavoured sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Nutrition Facts : Calories 460 calories, Carbohydrate 10 grams, Fat 30 grams, Fiber 3 grams, Protein 35 grams, Sugar 2 grams

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts work best. They stay moist and flavorful during the slow roasting process.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage pair perfectly with chicken. For a more vibrant flavor, use a combination of dried and fresh herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to leave enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can roast evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of roast.
  • Roast the chicken low and slow: The key to tender, juicy chicken is to roast it at a low temperature (325°F) for a longer period of time. This allows the flavors to develop and the chicken to cook evenly throughout.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is roasted, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Slow-roasted garlic lemon chicken is an easy and delicious weeknight meal that the whole family will love. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you serve it with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad, this chicken is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a fuss-free and delicious dinner option, give this slow-roasted garlic lemon chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
