Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add in the chicken breasts and make sure that they are well-coated in the marinade mixture. Cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
- About 1-2 hours before grilling, soak the cedar plank in water (or add a splash of apple juice for extra flavors).
- Preheat your grill on medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate. Once preheated, place the soaked cedar plank on the grate over direct heat. Place the marinated chicken breasts directly on the cedar plank.
- Close the grill lid and cook for 10 minutes, turning the chicken breast every 2.5 minutes. Don't be nervous if the cedar planks smoke while the chicken is cooking, this is good! Just close the grill lid as much as possible, and only open when you need to check and flip the chicken breasts.
- Right before serving, remove the cedar plank from underneath the chicken and grill the chicken breasts directly on the grill grate on high heat until grill marks appear.
- Your Cedar Grilled Lemon Chicken is ready to serve. Slice the chicken and pair with your sides of choice. ENJOY!

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON-GLAZED RHUBARB
A tangy rhubarb-lemon glaze gives roasted chicken a touch of sweetness and a deeply golden, crunchy skin. The rhubarb, which is cooked in the oven along with the chicken (but in a separate pan), becomes syrupy and soft, scented with thyme, coriander and fresh ginger. Some of the rhubarb mixture is brushed over the bird to help bronze its skin, while the rest makes a chutney-like condiment to serve alongside. If you have thin-skinned, mildly sweet Meyer lemons, you can skip the blanching in Step 3 and add the slices straight from the rhubarb pan. Regular lemons, especially those with a lot of the bitter white pith, really benefit from a brief blanch. This dish is wonderful over polenta or rice, which can absorb both chicken and rhubarb juices. Add a simple green salad (spinach is especially nice here), and dinner is done.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine salt, ground coriander, lemon zest, ginger, pepper and garlic. Rub it all over chicken, including inside the cavity and under the skin. Stuff thyme sprigs into cavity.
- Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet, and marinate, uncovered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
- Prepare the rhubarb: Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Thinly slice the lemon into 1/8-inch rounds. Remove any seeds. Quarter lemon rounds into triangles. Blanch lemon pieces in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain.
- In a 9-by-9-inch baking dish or a pie pan, toss together blanched lemons, rhubarb, sugar, ginger, coriander seeds, a pinch of salt and thyme sprigs. Let fruit macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour. (You can do this while the chicken is marinating.)
- When ready to roast, arrange an oven rack in the center of oven and another one below. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss onions in medium mixing bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt, and set aside.
- Generously drizzle olive oil over chicken. Roast chicken on the center rack and rhubarb below for 20 to 25 minutes, until rhubarb is glazed and syrupy.
- Remove rhubarb and lower oven temperature to 400 degrees. Brush or spoon some of the rhubarb syrup all over chicken. Scatter red onion pieces around chicken on baking sheet, then continue to roast until skin is golden and cooked through and onions are browned, about 25 to 35 minutes longer.
- Let chicken rest for 10 minutes. Carve and serve with onions, rhubarb and more thyme for garnish.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse scallions, garlic, lemon zest, ginger, and cilantro until finely chopped. Add oil, harissa, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon salt; process until a paste forms.
- Using kitchen shears, remove backbone from chicken. Place, breast-side up, on a cutting board; press down with your hands to flatten. Spread half of paste under and over skin and over cavity side. Arrange onions in a large cast-iron skillet. Place chicken on top, skin-side up. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour, or refrigerate, uncovered, up to 8 hours. (Bring to room temperature before roasting.)
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange half of lemon rounds on chicken. Roast 25 minutes. Combine remaining paste and marmalade; brush chicken with mixture and top with remaining lemon rounds. Roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (not touching bone) reads 155 degrees, about 20 minutes more. Let stand 10 minutes; serve.
Tips:
- To make the chicken extra crispy, pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium heat.
- The lemon relish is a great way to add a bright, tangy flavor to the chicken. If you don't have time to make the relish, you can use store-bought lemon curd instead.
- This dish is best served immediately, but it can be reheated in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
Conclusion:
Glazed Chicken with Lemon Relish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the lemon relish adds a bright, tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
