Roasted Chicken With Lemon Cream Sauce image

I love the smell of chicken roasting in the oven. It makes me think of holidays and family gatherings! Plus I can put it in the oven and concentrate on other things for a while....just enjoying the smell! Don't use a fryer...roasting chickens are a bit larger and have a higher fat content, making them more flavorful.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 lbs roasting chickens
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup mixed fresh basil, oregano, and thyme sprigs (mix depending on the spices you flavor...I like basil more!)
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon orange rind, grated
1 tablespoon lemon rind, grated
3 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh not bottled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup whipping cream (I have substituted fat free half and half at times with success, although not quite as thick a sauce)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Remove the giblets and neck and rinse the chicken with cold water; pat dry. Sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Place a mixture of the fresh herbs in the cavity. Tie the ends of the legs together with string. Lift the wingtips up and over the back, and tuck under the bird.
  • Place the chicken on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Insert a meat thermometer into a meaty portion of the thigh, making sure it doesn't touch bone.
  • Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until the thermometer registers 180 degrees. Remove the chicken from the roasting pan, discarding the drippings.
  • About 15 minutes before the chicken is done, start your lemon cream sauce. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sherry and the next 6 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Gradually stir in the whipping cream; cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Cut the chicken into serving pieces, and return to the roasting pan. Pour the lemon Cream Sauce over the chicken; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Broil 5 1/2 inches from the heat (with an electric door partially open) 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese melts. Serve immediately.

This is the best roasted chicken recipe I've ever tried! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit! The chicken is always juicy and the sauce is so good. I usually serve it with mashed potatoes and green beans.
