Delicious easy chicken
Published January/February 2001
(NAPS) - Rozanne Gold, renowned chef and author of the Recipes 1-2-3 series, recognizes that most of us have little time to spend shopping for ingredients and preparing meals. Gold maintains that you need no more than three items to make a great dish. In this case it's mouthwatering chicken that's crisp-skinned and roasted to perfection.
Each ingredient plays a critical role, and its quality, versatility and flavor are extremely important. According to Gold, olive oil is a great example of a "must have" ingredient when one wants to prepare simple yet flavorful meals.
Perfect Lemon Roast Chicken
Serves 6
- 1 4-pound chicken
- 2 medium thin-skinned lemons
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Remove giblets from chicken. Place giblets, except liver, in small saucepan with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 25 minutes. Remove from heat and strain broth through fine-mesh sieve. Set aside.
Wash chicken and dry well. Using small sharp knife, make a dozen deep slits in each of two lemons and place in cavity of chicken. Truss chicken with string and place in shallow roasting pan. In small bowl, mix olive oil with 1/2 teaspoon salt until dissolved. Pour over chicken and using your hands, rub mixture all over top and bottom of chicken. Roast 1 hour and 20 minutes, basting frequently.
Transfer chicken to cutting board. Pour off most of fat from pan. Scrape up all brown bits from pan and add to saucepan with reserved broth. Add squeeze of fresh lemon, salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Strain sauce and serve with chicken. Carve as desired. Garnish with lemons from cavity, cut into wedges. Serves 6.
