BROILED LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN



Broiled Lemon-Garlic Chicken image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lemons
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 half chickens (3 to 3 1/4 pounds total)

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack about 8 to 10 inches from the broiler and preheat. Grate the lemon zest and combine in a small bowl with the butter, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Mash with a fork to make a smooth paste.
  • With your fingers, gently loosen the skin on the chicken breasts, legs and thighs. Spread the flavored butter under the skin as evenly as possible. Halve the lemons and squeeze 2 halves over the chicken; season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken skin-side up on a broiler pan (or a rack on a baking sheet). Position the halves about 2 inches apart with the thick parts of the legs facing the center. Arrange the remaining 2 lemon halves cut-side down next to the chicken.
  • Broil the chicken until the skin is light brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. If the chicken browns too quickly, lower the oven rack. Flip the chicken and the lemons and continue to broil until almost cooked through (a thermometer inserted into the thickest part will register 160 degrees), about 15 minutes. Remove the lemons, if browned; turn the chicken again and broil until the skin is brown and crisp and the thermometer registers 165 degrees, about 2 more minutes. Serve the chicken with the broiled lemons for squeezing on top.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

"My taste in food is pretty simple," writes Sara Hainsworth of Frederick, Maryland. "I'm a meat-and-potatoes - and chocolate - kind of person. My husband, Greg, and I cook together a lot, which is fun and makes weeknight dinners and cooking for friends easier to manage now that we're starting our own family. I worked before our son, William, was born, but as my husband says, William is my boss now. So I count on these quick, dependably good dishes more than ever."
1 2- to 2 1/4-pound top sirloin steak, about 1 1/4 inches thick
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
6 large garlic cloves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • Place steak in heavy large resealable plastic bag. Puree remaining ingredients in blender or processor. Season marinade with salt and pepper. Pour marinade into bag with steak; seal bag. Let steak marinate at room temperature 2 hours or chill up to 6 hours, turning bag occasionally.
  • Preheat broiler or prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Broil or grill steak until cooked to desired doneness, about 7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to platter; let stand 15 minutes. Thinly slice steak crosswise.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh lemon and lime juice. Bottled juice can be used in a pinch, but it won't have the same bright, citrusy flavor.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can broil the chicken in a preheated oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

This lemon-lime chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of lemon, lime, garlic, and herbs, then grilled or broiled until cooked through. The result is a juicy, tender chicken with a bright, citrusy flavor. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
