Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken image

The juice from the lemon moistens and flavors the chicken as it roasts; rubbing the skin with the smashed garlic gives it additional flavor.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 chicken (3 1/2 pounds), rinsed and patted dry
2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 lemon, quartered
1/3 cup dry white wine, or water or chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a roasting pan with a rack, set aside. Rub chicken all over with garlic and then with 2 tablespoons butter. Season inside and out with salt and pepper. Place garlic cloves and lemon pieces inside the cavity. Tie legs together with kitchen twine.
  • Place chicken on rack in prepared pan and tuck the wing tips under. Roast until the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer chicken to a platter, and discard twine. Keep warm.
  • Place roasting pan on the stove over medium-high heat, and stir in the wine, thyme, and any accumulated juices from the platter. Bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon butter. Pass through a fine mesh sieve. Serve sauce with the chicken.
