Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 4- to 5-pound chicken
1 1/2 lemons
10 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
Leaves of 3 sprigs rosemary
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and black pepper
2 cloves garlic, ground to a paste with a pinch of salt
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and black pepper
1 1/2 heads Bibb lettuce
4 thick slices crusty bread

Steps:

  • For chicken, heat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken in ceramic or glass baking dish. Squeeze lemons on top; leave halves in dish. Add garlic, rosemary, olive oil and mustard. Season generously with salt and pepper, and rub chicken inside and out with all ingredients in pan. Place breast side down, and season once more. Roast, turning and basting once, until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees, about an hour. Remove from oven, and cool.
  • Place chicken on a cutting board with a groove or lip to catch all juices. Cut chicken, and serve as you wish. Pour juices and shreds of meat on cutting board back into baking dish. Pick small pieces of meat from backbone and from wings, and add to dish. Discard lemon halves. Wrap dish in plastic, and refrigerate.
  • For the salad, spoon off fat from pan the next day. Allow pan juices to come to room temperature. With a wooden spoon, mash garlic and mustard together in a wooden or ceramic bowl. Mix in vinegar, and gradually add olive oil. Mix until smooth, and season with salt and pepper. Tear handfuls of lettuce in half, and add to bowl. Toss until well coated.
  • To serve, scrape up drippings, juices, bits of meat, garlic and rosemary from pan, and divide among four plates. Place greens on top. Warm bread in a low oven, then place on side of plate.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

One 4-pound chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lemon
3 sprigs parsley or tarragon
2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
2 stalks celery, diced, plus 2 tablespoons chopped leaves
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh lemon juice, to taste
2 baguettes, split open
Potato chips, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Roast the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Rinse the chicken and pat dry; season generously inside and out with salt and black pepper. Stuff the lemon half and herb sprigs inside the cavity, then place the chicken in a baking dish. Roast until golden brown all over and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F, about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Remove and discard the skin, then pull the meat off the bones and chop or tear into bite-size pieces; refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
  • Make the mayonnaise: Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice and mustard in a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking constantly, until hot, about 2 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan and gradually drizzle in the vegetable oil, whisking until thick and creamy. Whisk in 1 tablespoon water, the cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Make the salad: Add the celery and leaves, the shallot, parsley, chives, tarragon and chicken to the prepared mayonnaise. Add salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. Pull out some of the bread from the inside of the baguettes, then stuff with the chicken salad. Cut into sandwiches; serve with potato chips.

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large chicken (about 2kg/4lb 8oz)
2 lemons , halved
½ a small bunch thyme
olive oil , for drizzling
1 ciabatta loaf, torn into pieces
90g pack prosciutto
1 garlic bulb, halved horizontally
200g pack green bean
1 bunch spring onions , sliced
small bunch parsley , roughly chopped
4 Baby Gem lettuces , separated into leaves
1 tbsp olive oil
juice 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Season the chicken inside and out, then stuff the cavity with 1 of the lemons and the thyme. Sit in a roomy roasting tin, drizzle with olive oil and roast for 40 mins.
  • Remove the tin from the oven, then scatter the ciabatta pieces around the chicken and ruffle over the prosciutto. Add the garlic and remaining lemon halves to the tin. Roast everything together for 40 mins more until the croutons and prosciutto are crisp. Remove from the oven, transfer the chicken to a plate and leave to cool. Remove the croutons and prosciutto, and set aside.
  • While the chicken is cooling, cook the green beans in a pan of boiling water for 5 mins. Drain, cool under cold water, then tip into a big bowl with the spring onions and parsley.
  • To make the dressing, squash the roasted lemon and garlic in the roasting tin with a potato masher. Remove all the skin from the garlic, then stir in the olive oil and lemon juice with some seasoning - scrape the bottom of the tin to get all the sticky chicken juices into your dressing. Stir in any resting juices from the chicken and set aside.
  • When the chicken is cool enough to handle, strip the meat off the bones. Just before serving, add the dressing, chicken, croutons, prosciutto and lettuce to the green bean mix in the bowl, toss together and scatter over a large serving platter.

Tips:

  • When roasting the chicken, use a high oven temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) to get a crispy skin.
  • Roast the chicken on a rack so that the air can circulate all around it, resulting in even cooking.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, baste it with butter or oil every 30 minutes.
  • Let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes before carving, to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • To make the salad, use fresh, crisp vegetables.
  • Dress the salad with a light vinaigrette or your favorite dressing.
  • For a more flavorful salad, add some crumbled bacon, cheese, or nuts.
