ENGAGEMENT ROAST CHICKEN

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (4 to 5 pound) roasting chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons
1 whole head garlic, cut in 1/2 crosswise
Good olive oil
2 Spanish onions, peeled and thickly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Remove and discard the chicken giblets. Pat the outside dry. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Cut the lemons in quarters, place 2 quarters in the chicken along with the garlic and reserve the rest of the lemons. Brush the outside of the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Place the chicken in a small (11 by 14-inch) roasting pan. (If the pan is too large, the onions will burn.) Place the reserved lemons and the sliced onions in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Pour the mixture around the chicken in the pan.
  • Roast the chicken for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and a thigh. Remove the chicken to a platter, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the sauce, leaving the lemons and onions in the pan.
  • Place the pan on top of the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the wine and stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up the brown bits. Add the stock and sprinkle on the flour, stirring constantly for a minute, until the sauce thickens. Add any juices that collect under the chicken. Carve the chicken onto a platter and serve with the lemons, onions, and warm sauce.

ENGAGEMENT ROAST CHICKEN (BAREFOOT CONTESSA)

After making this, I want to marry myself, it tastes SO good! LOL This is quite simple, juicy and VERY flavorful, with a crispy skin. I want the onions to carmelize, so I put the 1/2 cup chicken stock and the 1/2 cup white wine into the roasting pan in the beginning. (add more if needed) Sometimes I add fresh thyme or other herbs into the lemon-onion mixture. If you don't have twine, the chicken will still be fine, but tuck the wings under. I have added either small Red or Yukon potatoes to the pan with great results, the potatoes soak up the drippings and are very yummy. This is adapted from Food Network, Ina ROCKS!

Tips:

  • Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can brine the chicken in a simple saltwater solution, or you can add herbs and spices to the brine for extra flavor.
  • Dry the chicken thoroughly before cooking: This will help the chicken to brown evenly. You can pat the chicken dry with paper towels, or you can let it air dry for 30 minutes or so.
  • Use a roasting pan with a rack: This will allow the chicken to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin. You can roast the chicken at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful. You can let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Conclusion:

Roast chicken is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious roast chicken that will impress your family and friends.
