2 garlic cloves

1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 (3 lb) chicken
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350.

  • Transfer the garlic to a small bowl and whisk in the lemon juice, rosemary, sweet paprika, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, whisk in the olive oil.
  • Using your fingers, gently loosen the skin from the chicken breasts, thighs and drumsticks; try not to tear the skin.

  • Using a small spoon, pour all but 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mixture under the skin of the chicken, rubbing it into the breasts, thighs and drumsticks.

  • Rub the remaining 1 tablespoon of the seasoned oil all over the chicken and season it with salt.
  • Put the reserved lemon halves in the cavity of the chicken and tie the legs together with twine.
  • Roast the chicken for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices from the cavity run clear and the chicken is browned and crisp.
  • Let the chicken rest in the roasting pan for 15 minutes.
  • Tilt the chicken to drain the juices from the cavity into the pan; transfer the chicken to a carving board.
  • Pour the pan juices into a bowl and skin the fat from the surface.
  • Strain the juice into a small saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
  • Carve the chicken and serve with the pan juices.

Not a fan. The chicken was dry and the lemon and garlic flavors were too strong. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I should have used less lemon and garlic?

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the lemon and garlic combination was perfect. I didn't have any fresh thyme on hand, so I used dried thyme, and it still turned out great. Will definitely make this again.
