Melt in Your Mouth Roast Chicken

This Chicken Recipe is the BEST!! It smells so good while its baking in the oven and tastes even better when its on your plate! This recipe is great for dinner parties and is served wonderfully with watercress, potatoes and carrots or string beans. Here are the Steps:

{Ingredients}

4-5 lb whole chicken
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
3 lemons, halved
4 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs rosemary
6 cloves garlic, crushed, unpeeled
1 onion, sliced

1 Tblspn on Butter
olive oil as needed
1 cup chicken stock or broth

1/2 cup of water

(Any veggies you want to place around the chicken, I chose Carrots)

The Ingredients you will need

{Directions}

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees. Wash and dry the chicken, and throw out all the unwanted giblets. Mix the Thyme, Rosemary, Lemon Juice and Garlic in a Bowl. Smother the Chicken in the Juices and then place the remaining mixture inside the chicken. ( I didn't have time to run to the store to get real lemons or leaves so I just used my lemon juice and pre-made seasonings). Tie the two legs together with the cooking string (this is optional). In the bottom of the Roasting pan put the 1 cup of chicken broth, 1/2 cup of water and sliced onion (and optional veggies). Pour the rest of the juice from the seasoning bowl in the pan. Rub the chicken with the butter and place into the roasting pan. Drizzle with some olive oil and sea salt (generously) and then place it in the oven! Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 400 and then reduce the heat to 175 degrees and cook for 15 minutes. Make sure to be basting the chicken every 15 minutes to get a nice soak :) Internal Chicken should be at 165 degrees when it is finished. You can also make the leftover juices at the bottom of the dish into a nice gravy. Bon Appetit!
