Time 2h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (5 to 6 pound) roasting chicken
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh thyme, plus 20 sprigs
1 lemon, halved
1 head garlic, cut in half crosswise
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, melted
1 large yellow onion, thickly sliced
4 carrots cut into 2-inch chunks
1 bulb of fennel, tops removed, and cut into wedges
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pin feathers and pat the outside dry. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of lemon, and all 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. Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a roasting pan. Toss with salt, pepper, 20 sprigs of thyme, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.
  • Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.

JUICY ROASTED CHICKEN



Juicy Roasted Chicken image

My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

KITTENCAL'S BEST BLASTED RAPID-ROAST WHOLE CHICKEN



Kittencal's Best Blasted Rapid-Roast Whole Chicken image

Blasting with high heat will shrink the skin and seal in all the juices to create an extremely moist and tender chicken with lovely crispy skin - and it will be on your table in about an hour. This method will also work with a larger chicken, but cooking time will need to be increased. You may adjust all seasonings to taste. If you are not a lemon lover, then you may omit the lemon juice. You really can use whatever seasoning that you like for this. I like to use seasoned salt. Make certain to use a fork and poke holes all over in the lemon, then place it into the cavity of the chicken. Roast roast as stated. The chicken with be moist and have a faint lemon flavor.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole chicken (about 3 to 3-1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons melted margarine or 2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (can use more lemon juice if desired)
1 1/2 tablespoons seasoning salt (or use as much as desired)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 whole lemon (poked all over with holes using a fork, can use 2 small lemons, if you don't have any lemons an onio)

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken inside and out well under cold water, then pat dry using a paper towel.
  • In a small bowl mix the lemon juice with oil and melted butter until blended, then rub all over the chicken.
  • Using clean hands rub the inside and outside of the chicken with seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper and cayenne (you can season the chicken under the skin also if desired).
  • Place the lemon/s inside the cavity.
  • Place the chicken into a baking dish (you can place the chicken onto a small roasting rack if desired and you may want to add in a little water to the pan to prevent smoking).
  • Using cotton string tie the legs together tightly.
  • At this point you may cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours (not more than that or the acid in the lemon juice will start to "cook" the chicken).
  • Set oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Roast the chicken at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400 degrees and continue roasting for about 40 minutes (or until the internal temperature reaches about 175 to 180 degrees F. about 1 hour or a little less).
  • Cover with foil and let sit for 15 minutes before slicing (do not slice before that time or the juices will flow out!).
