Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub chicken inside and out with one garlic half. Place both garlic halves and the tarragon sprigs in cavity. Stir together butter, shallot, chopped tarragon. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Loosen skin of chicken near cavity with hands; spread butter mixture under skin all over flesh.
- Squeeze juice from lemon halves over chicken; place in cavity. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Halve the large onions horizontally at an angle. Arrange in the middle of a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan to form a square. Position halves so that the slanted ends of each pair face each other, inward, and almost touch. Place chicken, breast side up, on onion "rack."
- Quarter the small onions; arrange with carrots, celery, and potatoes around bird. Tuck lemon slices between wings and breast, and legs and breast. Pour wine and stock over vegetables.
- Roast chicken and vegetables, basting 2 or 3 times with pan juices, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken thigh registers 165 degrees and juices run clear, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove pan from oven, and let chicken stand 10 minutes. Carve chicken. Arrange chicken and roasted vegetables (including rack onions) on a platter. Spoon pan juices over meat.
LEMON TARRAGON CHICKEN
This is yummy, quick and easy. I got the recipe from Publix Apron's Simple Meals series. I used flour instead of cornstarch and added a little bit more wine because I had a little more chicken. You can also use fresh tarragon if you have it. I served this with orzo with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and broccoli. I just added the sun-dried tomatoes and broccoli to the water that the orzo was boiling in. Very easy side dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Remove fat from the crop and cavity of the chicken. Remove the neck, gizzards and liver and freeze for another use.
- Squeeze half the lemon all over the skin of the chicken. Season the skin with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the remaining half lemon, garlic and 1 bunch whole tarragon.
- Put the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up, and roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the juices run clear. During the first few minutes, either shake the chicken or move it frequently with a wooden spoon to keep it from sticking.
- When chicken is done, tilt it over the roasting pan to let the cavity juices run into the pan. Remove the chicken to a platter. Pour off the fat from the roasting pan.
- Put the pan on top of the stove. Add the wine and bring the contents of the pan to a boil, while scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Stir in tarragon leaves. Let simmer 5 minutes once the pan is thoroughly deglazed. Serve the pan juices over the chicken or pass it separately in a sauce boat.

TARRAGON AND LEMON ROAST CHICKEN
This stress-free dish is based on one of my favorite flavor pairings-golden roast chicken and tarragon. The chicken is simply seared on the cooktop, then placed in the oven to bake with zingy lemon, garlic, fresh fennel and tarragon for just 25 minutes. That's dinner, done!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a heavy ovenproof pot or Dutch oven on a stovetop over high heat. Score the chicken skin at regular intervals, drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Add to the pot and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until well browned. Remove from the pot and set aside. Add the tarragon, lemon zest, garlic and fennel to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Return the chicken to the pot with the wine and stock and bring to a simmer.
- Transfer to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through. Serve with the lemon wedges.
Tips:
- Brining the chicken: This is an optional step, but it helps to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. To brine the chicken, simply dissolve 1/4 cup of salt in 1 gallon of water and submerge the chicken in the brine for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Using a meat thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through to the proper temperature. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast or thigh and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Letting the chicken rest: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.
- Using fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as tarragon, thyme, and rosemary, add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Serving the chicken: This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. It can also be served with a simple green salad.
Conclusion:
Garlic Lemon Chicken with Tarragon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful garlic-lemon sauce and then topped with fresh tarragon. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
