Add pepper, grated garlic, grated lemon or other citrus zest, herbs and spices to taste.
NextSkin should be deep golden brown and juices should be sizzling.
We've rounded up 15 top-rated side dishes that are so good people will be asking you for the recipe all day long. I didn't have to compromise on taste or moistness because this combination yielded the "juiciest chicken" I ever made according to my Hubs…and I have made a LOT of chicken over the years.
When I read the ingredients I thought, "What's the big deal? Discard onions, and stir in the remaining tablespoon of cold butter until melted and incorporated.
Place the palm of your hand on top of lemon and, pressing down, roll lemon back and forth several times. Let chicken stand 10 to 15 minutes so the juices settle.
NextI was tempted to do that but didn't want to be a hypocrite.
A note for crisp-chicken-skin fanatics: glazing a bird moistens the skin, making it shiny and flavorful, but less crisp.
NextMy entire family including two "selective" little boys loved it.
Using the side of a large knife, gently press on garlic cloves to open slightly. Loved it, thanks again.
NextI used potatoes under the chicken along with the onion and they tasted pretty good! Cut along the backbone on only one side of the bird, then open the chicken and roast as is.
The chicken is unbelievably moist inside, and perfectly crispy on the outisde.
The lemon, garlic and fresh herbs create the best aroma, not to mention flavor!! Honestly, I think it is probably just as good just straight out of the oven without the sauce.
Use a chafing dish, slow cooker, or warming tray to keep food above 140 F 60 C. Remove from heat and baste with melted margarine and drippings. My husband thought it was a bit bland though but everyone loved the crispy skin.
NextTake care not to tear the skin.
If you add carrots and potatos and cover, you won't effect the flavor at all and you'll have a full meal.
NextThis is the ideal roast chicken recipe.
