MARCELLA HAZAN'S ROAST CHICKEN WITH LEMONS



Marcella Hazan's Roast Chicken With Lemons image

When Marcella Hazan died in 2013, The New York Times invited readers to share their favorite recipes from her books. While her tomato sauce with butter and onion was the clear favorite, this astonishingly simple roast chicken and her Bolognese sauce were close runners-up.

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3- to 4-pound chicken
Salt
Black pepper, ground fresh from the mill
2 rather small lemons

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Wash the chicken thoroughly in cold water, both inside and out. Remove all the bits of fat hanging loose. Let the bird sit for about 10 minutes on a slightly tilted plate to let all the water drain out of it. Pat it thoroughly dry all over with cloth or 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. Close it well, but don't make an absolutely airtight job of it because the chicken may burst. 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. Do not add cooking fat of any kind. This bird is self-basting, so you need not fear it will stick to the pan. Place it in the upper third of the preheated oven. After 30 minutes, 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 another 30 to 35 minutes, then turn the oven thermostat up to 400 degrees, and cook for an additional 20 minutes. Calculate between 20 and 25 minutes total cooking time for each pound. There is no need to turn the chicken again.
  • 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; do not squeeze them, they may squirt.

LEMON-ROASTED CHICKEN



Lemon-Roasted Chicken image

I heard about this "engagement chicken" on the radio, and searched it out online and read how a few different people did it. Here is my variation on it - guaranteed to result in super moist lemon-roasted chicken! And yes - I did get proposed to within 3 months of making it! Looks super pretty and tastes amazing! I usually pair the chicken with a lasagna or a vegetable medley.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken
4 ½ each lemons, divided
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 sprigs fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse chicken thoroughly with cold water, empty the cavity, and pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Place chicken, breast-side down, into a roasting pan. Squeeze juice from 1 1/2 lemons over chicken.
  • Mix salt and pepper together in a small bowl and spread mixture all over chicken using your hands.
  • Roll 2 lemons on the countertop to soften them a bit. Puncture several times with a fork and cram into the cavity of the chicken.
  • Place roasting pan in the preheated oven and lower temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Pull out chicken and turn over using wooden spoons or tongs. Return to the oven and continue to bake until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear when the thigh is pricked with a fork, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving. Cut remaining lemon into slices. Transfer chicken to a serving dish and garnish with lemon slices and fresh rosemary. Pour juices from the roasting pan over the chicken to make it super juicy.

1 (5 to 6-pound) roasting chicken
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh thyme

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 pound sliced bacon
1 cup white wine

Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the thyme, reserving enough thyme to garnish the chicken dish, 1 lemon, halved, and 2 halves of the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken.

Continue roasting the chicken for an additional 1/2 hour, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove to a platter and cover with aluminum foil while you prepare the gravy.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the bottom of the pan. Add the wine and chicken stock and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until reduced by half.
  • Slice the chicken on a platter. Garnish the chicken platter with the bacon slices, roasted garlic, reserved thyme and 1 lemon, sliced. Serve with the gravy.

WHOLE ROAST CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND HERBS



Whole Roast Chicken with Lemon and Herbs image

Provided by Virginia Willis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 4- to 5-pound chicken, giblets and neck removed
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 fresh thyme sprigs
2 cloves garlic
1 large lemon, halved
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
1 bay leaf, preferably fresh

Steps:

  • Set a rack on the lower middle level of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the thyme sprigs, garlic, and one lemon half, squeezing the lemon as you insert it to release the juice into the cavity. Rub the butter all over the chicken skin, including undersides, then season once again with salt and pepper.
  • Tie the ends of the drumsticks together with twine. Arrange the chicken breast-up on the rack in a roasting pan. Squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon half over the top of the chicken. (You can toss the lemon half into the roasting pan or discard it.)
  • Place the roasting pan in the oven. After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F. When the chicken is beginning to brown rapidly, baste with accumulated pan juices.
  • Add the onion, carrot, celery, and bay leaf to the roasting pan after 30 minutes. Continue roasting, basting several times, until the juices run clear when pierced at the thickest part of the thigh with a knife or if you tilt the chicken forward the juices that run out of the cavity are clear, an additional 45 to 60 minutes (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours total roasting time). Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and let rest in a warm place to allow the juices to redistribute, about 15 minutes. To serve, remove the herbs and the lemon half from the cavity and discard. Reserve the garlic cloves and carve the chicken. Serve the chicken with the vegetables and reserved garlic cloves. (The bay leaf may be left for decoration or discarded.)

ROAST CHICKEN WITH LEMON



Roast Chicken With Lemon image

Provided by Alissa J. Rubin

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 chicken, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pounds
Fleur de sel or other medium-grained sea salt
About 1 ounce fresh mixed herbs (sage, thyme, rosemary, oregano or other), coarsely chopped
1 large or 2 small lemons, pierced all over with a fork
Olive oil
Carrots, onions, leeks, turnips or other vegetables for roasting, as desired
1/2 cup chicken stock, or as needed

Steps:

  • Working carefully to prevent tearing, loosen the skin over as much of the chicken as possible by slipping your hand under it. Rub the chicken flesh lightly with salt, and slide the herbs under the skin. (You should be able to see them through the skin.)
  • Place all the lemon in the chicken's cavity, and cover the chicken in plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat the bottom of a roasting pan with olive oil. Unwrap the chicken and place it breast side up in the pan, surrounded by any vegetables to be roasted. Drizzle the vegetables with oil, turning them to coat well. Roast for 20 minutes, then baste the chicken and vegetables with pan juices. If there are no juices, add 1/4 cup water to the pan, scraping the bottom, and baste.
  • Reduce temperature to 325 degrees. Continue basting every 10 to 15 minutes until the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced at the thigh, about 20 minutes to a pound. Roast vegetables until browned and caramelized, removing when cooked to taste.
  • Transfer the chicken to a platter and keep warm. Remove the lemon from the cavity and place in the roasting pan, mashing it a bit to release the juices. Place pan on low heat and add the chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the pan. Carve the chicken, adding any juices to the pan. Pour the hot juices into a pitcher or gravy boat. Serve the chicken and vegetables, passing the juices separately.

CHICKEN ROASTED OVER LEMONS AND ONIONS



Chicken Roasted Over Lemons and Onions image

Learn how to make the ultimate roast chicken with lemons and onions. After you master our definitive roast chicken recipe, check out our step-by-step guide to carving your bird.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 13h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon ground coriander, cumin, or paprika (optional)
3 teaspoons kosher salt
3-to-3 1/2-pound chicken
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 lemons, 1 sliced into thin rounds
9 thyme sprigs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 small onion, sliced into thin rounds

Steps:

  • Add coriander, cumin, or paprika to the salt, if desired. Pat chicken dry and season the cavity and skin with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt each. Place it on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a rack. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Sprinkle the cavity with 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Then pierce whole lemon all over with a fork; put it inside the cavity with 6 thyme sprigs. Rub butter evenly over the skin, season with another 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and tie the legs firmly with twine. On a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment, overlap lemon and onion slices to create a base slightly larger than the chicken. Set the bird on top of this "rack," which will collect the chicken fat as it drips. Strip the leaves from remaining 3 thyme sprigs and scatter them over the chicken. Let the bird stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, which will help it cook evenly.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Roast the chicken 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees, rotate the sheet, and continue cooking until a thermometer registers 160 degrees, 25 to 35 minutes. (For the most accurate reading, insert it in two places: the thickest part of the breast, then the thigh, near but not touching the bone.) Let the chicken stand 10 minutes (the temperature will rise to 165 degrees) -- this allows the juices to redistribute, creating tender meat. Serve, with the roasted lemon and onion slices.

LEMONY CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND OREGANO



Lemony Chicken With Potatoes and Oregano image

This might be the easiest roast chicken and potatoes recipe out there. Roasting lemon slices with the potatoes infuses them with a bright, zippy flavor. Then, you can eat the roasted lemon or not - the caramelized, intense flavor is for true lemon lovers only. Serve this with one or two of your favorite condiments on the side for dipping the potatoes.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, poultry, roasts, vegetables, main course

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lemons
1 1/4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (2 to 3), patted dry with paper towels (see Tip)
1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed, halved and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 3/4 teaspoons dried oregano, plus more for serving
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more for serving
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees and, if you like, line a sheet pan with parchment paper (not essential but helpful for cleaning up).
  • Trim the ends off 1 lemon, then cut the lemon in half crosswise.Thinly slice one half of the lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds into quarters, creating small triangles. Shake out the seeds then place the lemon quarters into a large bowl. Save the remaining lemon half for serving. Cut the remaining whole lemon into wedges, for serving.
  • Add chicken and potatoes to the large bowl with the lemon quarters. Add the oregano, salt and pepper; toss well. (Your hands are the best tools here.) Drizzle in the oil and toss again.
  • Arrange chicken thighs skin side up on one half of the prepared sheet pan, and potatoes and lemons on the other, spreading the potatoes out into one layer. Roast for 20 minutes. Using a long-handled spoon, stir the potatoes, then spread them out again in one layer. (You don't have to touch the chicken.) Continue roasting until chicken and potatoes are cooked through and everything is golden and crisped, another 15 to 20 minutes (40 to 45 minutes total roasting time).
  • To serve, squeeze the juice from the lemon half all over chicken and potatoes and give everything a good stir to incorporate all the tasty juices and browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with more oregano and salt, and serve with additional lemon wedges and condiments on the side.

THE BEST ROASTED LEMON CHICKEN



The Best Roasted Lemon Chicken image

This easy to prepare recipe was found in a Cook's Illustrated Magazine. It takes alittle time, but well worth it. I left out the final steps because it wasn't needed for this juicy & best tasting roasted chicken that I have ever come across. I think the secret of the juicyness is that you brine the chicken first. So this is a must for this recipe.

Provided by CabinKat

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 2h15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup kosher salt or 1/2 cup table salt
2 quarts water
1 (3 1/2-4 lb) whole chickens
vegetable oil cooking spray
2 medium lemons (small will be fine as well)
6 medium garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons melted butter
ground black pepper
1 3/4 cups canned chicken broth

Steps:

  • In a large bowl (enough to hold chicken plus two quarts water) disolve salt in water. Add chicken and submerge, covering with lid. I put a small domed lid over chicken before covering so that the whole chicken is under water. Refrigerate for 1 hour. After one hour remove chicken and pat dry with paper towel. Set aside and prepare rack.
  • Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray V-rack (can use another rack, but chicken must be above liquid, at least 2") with cooking spray and set in flameproof roasting pan or lasagna pan.
  • Cut lemons lengthwise into quarters. Rub garlic in the cavity of the chicken. Add lemons, fit as many as you can without over stuffing. Thread long wooden or metal skewers through flaps to close cavity. Brush breast side up with butter and season GENEROUSLY with pepper. Then do other side. Place chicken breast side down in V-rack and roast chicken for another 40 minutes.
  • Remove roasting pan & chicken from oven and increase temperature to 450 degrees. Using 2 large wads of paper towels turn chicken over to breast side up. Add chicken broth to pan, place chicken back in oven and roast for another 35-40 minutes or until thermometer registers 165 to 170 degrees.
  • Once chicken has finished, "remove lemons", and let sit for at least 10 minutes before carving. Then carve and enjoy.
