Roasted Chicken With Lemon Cream Sauce image

I love the smell of chicken roasting in the oven. It makes me think of holidays and family gatherings! Plus I can put it in the oven and concentrate on other things for a while....just enjoying the smell! Don't use a fryer...roasting chickens are a bit larger and have a higher fat content, making them more flavorful.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 lbs roasting chickens
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup mixed fresh basil, oregano, and thyme sprigs (mix depending on the spices you flavor...I like basil more!)
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon orange rind, grated
1 tablespoon lemon rind, grated
3 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh not bottled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup whipping cream (I have substituted fat free half and half at times with success, although not quite as thick a sauce)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Remove the giblets and neck and rinse the chicken with cold water; pat dry. Sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Place a mixture of the fresh herbs in the cavity. Tie the ends of the legs together with string. Lift the wingtips up and over the back, and tuck under the bird.
  • Place the chicken on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Insert a meat thermometer into a meaty portion of the thigh, making sure it doesn't touch bone.
  • Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until the thermometer registers 180 degrees. Remove the chicken from the roasting pan, discarding the drippings.
  • About 15 minutes before the chicken is done, start your lemon cream sauce. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sherry and the next 6 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Gradually stir in the whipping cream; cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Cut the chicken into serving pieces, and return to the roasting pan. Pour the lemon Cream Sauce over the chicken; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Broil 5 1/2 inches from the heat (with an electric door partially open) 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese melts. Serve immediately.
