Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 chickens, about 2 to 3 pounds each
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 or 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
1 1/2 lemons, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons very finely minced lemon zest
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons sea salt, preferablyy gray salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F if you have no convection fan, or to 425 degrees F if you have a convection fan.
  • Rinse the chickens inside and out and dry well.
  • Make the salt: In a bowl, combine the lemon zest, rosemary, salt, and pepper, mixing well. Rub the chicken all over with the olive oil, and then rub with 3 tablespoons of the seasoned salt. (Reserve the remaining salt for another use.) Tuck the rosemary sprigs and lemon chunks into the chicken cavity. You don't need to truss the chicken.
  • Place the bird on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature by 75 degrees F and continue roasting until the juices run clear when a thigh is pierced with a skewer, about 50 to 55 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a platter and let rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.

HOMEMADE HERB SALT



Homemade Herb Salt image

Yes, the color in this salt will fade within a few weeks, but the herby flavor and aroma will remain intact for much longer. I described this as a finishing salt, meaning it's used to season cooked food at the table; however, it can also be used in place of regular salt in any recipe preparation.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right lemons and rosemary is crucial. Look for bright yellow lemons with smooth skin, and fresh rosemary sprigs with vibrant green leaves.
  • Before using the lemons, wash them thoroughly to remove any surface impurities.
  • To obtain the zest, use a citrus zester or a fine grater, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath.
  • If you don't have a food processor or spice grinder, finely chop the rosemary and lemon zest by hand.
  • To achieve the desired salt consistency, adjust the processing time based on your preference. A longer processing time results in finer salt.
  • Store the prepared rosemary lemon sea salt in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its freshness and flavor.
