OVEN ROASTED LEMON CHICKEN WITH SEASONED SAUCE
A juicy golden chicken with luscious sauce, requiring a minimum of effort. The lemon flavor is not overpowering, but definitely present. Pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes. This recipe comes from a Dutch language cookbook I recently purchased entitled "Mediterraans: Culinair genieten op z'n best" which translates to MEDITERRANEAN: CULINARY ENJOYMENT AT ITS BEST. All the recipes are anonymous so I can't give credit to it's author.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
- Place one of the garlic head halves and half of the lemon slices in a large heat-proof baking dish.
- Place the cardamom pods, cumin seeds, and cloves in a mortar and pestle and lightly crush (just enough that their aromas are released); scatter these in the baking dish.
- Gently loosen the skin (from the bottom, not neck, end) of the chicken and place lemon slices over the breasts (you should be able to get 2-4 slices over each breast).
- Put the remaining lemon slices and the other garlic half inside the chicken.
- Place the chicken BREAST SIDE DOWN in the baking dish.
- Rub or brush the olive oil over the chicken and salt and pepper as desired.
- In a small saucepan on the stove top, heat the water to boiling and dissolve the bouillon cube in it.
- Take 2 TBS of this broth and add to the baking dish.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
- Remove the dish from the oven, turn the chicken over, baste with pan juices, and return to oven, baking one hour more until the chicken is done (when the thickest part of the leg is pricked, the juices will run clear).
- Remove the chicken to a cutting board, and pour any pan juices through a strainer into the saucepan with the remaining chicken bouillon.
- Heat this mixture to boiling, and as it boils stir the flour briskly in; boil for 2 minutes or until thickened.
- Pour the sauce into a serving bowl (if your flour clumped, just strain it as you pour into serving bowl).
- Remove the lemon slices and garlic from the chicken; carve as usual.
- Serve, passing sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use a whole chicken that weighs between 3 and 4 pounds. A larger chicken will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
- Pat the chicken dry: Before seasoning and roasting the chicken, pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the skin crisp up.
- Season the chicken generously: Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the chicken, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme. You can also add a tablespoon of olive oil to the seasoning mix to help the chicken skin crisp up.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Roast the chicken at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue to roast for another 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: After the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This recipe for seasoned oven-roasted chicken is a simple and delicious way to cook a whole chicken. The chicken is seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, then roasted until the skin is crispy and the meat is juicy and tender. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
