Crispy Roasted Lemon Chicken
Crispy Roasted Lemon Chicken
Ingredients
1/3 cup Liokareas Lemon Olive Oil
1 Organic roasting chicken, 4 or 5 pounds
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons rubbed sage
2 lemons, one quartered and de-seeded, and one zested and juiced
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, whisk together salt, black pepper, and sage, and set aside.
Pat the chicken dry and rub Liokareas Lemon Olive Oil into the skin. Yes: rub it in all over the bird. Put the three of the lemon quarters in the cavity with the rosemary.
Quickly dust the bird generously all over with the spice and salt mix and put it into the oven.
Do not disturb the bird for 40 minutes, at which point insert a thermometer into the thigh joint. The chicken is done when the thermometer reaches 165 degrees.
Sprinkle lemon zest on the chicken and let rest in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before carving and placing on a platter. Squeeze the remaining ¼ lemon over the serving platter and serve.
