BRAISE-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut backbone from chicken using kitchen shears and save backbone for another use. Flip chicken, breast-side up, and forcefully press chicken down to flatten; season generously with salt.

• Cook and stir onion in oil in the same skillet until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Continue cooking until most of the beer is reduced, 2 to 4 minutes more. Stir chicken broth, carrots, lemon, rosemary, and thyme into beer mixture. Arrange chicken, skin-side up, over vegetables.
• Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is golden brown and crispy, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken and vegetables to a large platter and let rest, uncovered.
• Bring remaining broth and juices in the skillet to a boil and cook until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season sauce with salt.
• Slice chicken and serve with sauce.

LEMON ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CARROTS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Remove giblets from cavity of chicken. Wash chicken thoroughly in cold water, both inside and out. Remove any loose bits of fat. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt and black pepper on the chicken, rubbing it with your fingers over all its body and into its cavity.
• Wash the lemons in cold water and dry them with a towel. Soften each lemon by placing it on a counter and rolling it back and forth as you put firm downward pressure on it with the palm of your hand. Puncture the lemons in at least 20 places each, using a sturdy round toothpick, a trussing needle, a sharp-pointed fork, or similar implement.
• Place both lemons in the bird's cavity. Close up the opening with toothpicks or with trussing needle and string; do not seal it completely airtight, or the bird may explode. Run kitchen string from one leg to the other, tying it at both knuckle ends. Leave the legs in their natural position without pulling them tight. If the skin is unbroken, the chicken will puff up as it cooks, and the string serves only to keep the thighs from spreading apart and splitting the skin.
• Put the chicken into a roasting pan, breast facing down. Arrange the carrots and potatoes around it. Place the pan in the upper third of the preheated oven. After 30 minutes, stir the carrots and potatoes and turn the chicken over to have the breast face up. When turning it, try not to puncture the skin. If kept intact, the chicken will swell like a balloon, which makes for an arresting presentation at the table later. Do not worry too much about it, however, because even if it fails to swell, the flavor will not be affected.
• Cook for 30 to 35 minutes more, then turn the oven up to 400°F Stir the potatoes and carrots again, ensuring they are covered with the chicken juice, and cook for 20 minutes more. (Total cooking time should be 20 to 25 minutes per pound.).
• Whether your bird has puffed up or not, bring it to the table whole and leave the lemons inside until it is carved and opened. The juices that run out are perfectly delicious. Be sure to spoon them over the chicken slices. The lemons will have shriveled up, but they still contain some juice; if you squeeze them, they may squirt.

SLOW-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS AND GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Season chicken generously with salt inside and out. Place head of garlic inside cavity; tie legs together if desired. Let sit at least 5 minutes or chill, uncovered, up to 2 days.
• Combine carrots, shallots, ginger, butter, and honey in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot; season lightly with salt. Place chicken on top, nestling into vegetables so lid will sit tight. Cover; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 155°F, about 2 hours. Uncover and let rest 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook oil and sliced garlic in a small saucepan over medium until garlic is lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and let cool. Stir in lime juice; season dressing with salt.
• Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until skin is browned and crisp, 10-14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place pot over medium-high heat; bring juices to a simmer. Cook, reducing heat as needed, until vegetables are glazed, 10-12 minutes. Keep warm over low heat until chicken is done.
• Serve chicken on top of vegetables with dressing drizzled over.

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH LEMON, THYME AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Pat chicken thighs dry and place, skin side up, in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in refrigerator, uncovered, for 8 hours or overnight to dry skin. Remove chicken from refrigerator at least 45 minutes before cooking.
• Heat oven to 500 degrees. Spread onion slices and garlic cloves in a baking dish that can hold the chicken snugly in a single layer. Scatter lemon on the onion-garlic mixture and strew with thyme and rosemary sprigs.
• Remove chicken from baking sheet and place on several layers of paper towels, skin side down. Sprinkle with half the salt and pepper. Turn thighs over and season with remaining salt and pepper. Transfer to the baking dish skin side up. Use your hands to arrange the bed of onions and garlic so they're completely under the chicken.
• Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife point. If skin is not a deep golden brown and crispy, turn on broiler and broil chicken close to heat a few minutes to crisp and brown it.
• To serve, move chicken off the bed of onions, garlic, lemon and herbs. Discard lemon and spoon the rest of the ingredients, along with pan juices, onto a serving platter. Place chicken on top and serve.

CHICKEN WITH CARROTS AND LEMON-THYME BUTTER

Steps:

• Remove breasts from chickens, skin on, and include the first joint of the wing. (The legs will not be used.) Using a cleaver or heavy knife, hack the remaining carcasses into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium-heat until slightly brown. Add the pieces of chicken carcasses and cook, stirring, until well browned, about 10 minutes. Pour off all the fat. Lower heat to medium and add the celery, 1/2 cup of the onions, all the cubed carrots and the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
• Add the wine. Then add the chicken broth, 1 cup water, bay leaf and 2 sprigs thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, occasionally skimming fat from the top. Strain. You should have about 1 3/4 cups of chicken broth. Set aside. (This broth can be made in advance and refrigerated.)
• In a pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and add the remaining 1/2 cup of onions and the sugar. Cook the onions, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add carrot rounds and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes, or until al dente. Remove from heat and set aside, with cooking liquid.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts. In a large, ovenproof skillet melt 1 tablespoon butter and add the chicken breasts, skin side down. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until well browned. Flip the chicken. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 6 minutes more. Remove from heat and place in oven for about 6 more minutes, or until done. Remove the breasts from the skillet and keep warm.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter to the chicken pan juices and stir.
• In a small mixing bowl, make the lemon butter by combining 4 tablespoons of soft butter, lemon juice, leaves from 1 sprig thyme ( 1/2 teaspoon dried), lemon zest, salt and white pepper.
• Gently remove the carrot rounds and set aside, keeping them warm. Stir lemon butter into the cooking liquid from the carrots. Keep warm.
• Place the corn oil in a large pot. Heat to 340 degrees, or until it is just beginning to smoke. Place a handful of carrot threads in the hot oil. Cook for about 30 to 40 seconds. Remove with slotted spoon to paper towels. When the carrots are cool enough to handle, mold into a loose ball. Repeat with the rest of the carrots for a total of four balls.
• Divide the carrot rounds into the middle of 4 large warmed plates. Slice each chicken breast into 3 pieces, on a slight angle, and arrange the slices over the carrot rounds. The wing joint should be facing tip up. Ladle some of the chicken-pan juices over the chicken, and then some of the lemon-butter sauce. Place a deep-fried carrot ball on top of the chicken. Garnish all with parsley leaves and serve.
