Lemon Pepper Roast Chicken Lemon Pepper Roast Chicken
The method I’ve come to rely on over the last several years. I usually make this in two steps. I prepare the chicken in the morning and throw in the fridge to allow the skin to dry out before cooking in the evening. But it works just fine if you prep the chicken right before you pop it in the oven too.

I came up with this recipe as I had lots of lemons and wanted to cook it with chicken.It's a perfect combination with herbs, so I made this lemon and herb roast chicken ♪● I put 1/2 lemon but you can still enjoy the refreshing taste by 1/4.● I used the handy dried thyme and rosemary but you get a better flavor with fresh herbs.

Whole Roast Chicken with Lemon & Herbs Whole Roast Chicken with Lemon & Herbs
This is a simple way to roast chicken that makes the meat aromatic and delicious! Lately for Thanksgiving & Christmas, I've been roasting chicken instead of big turkeys, simply because I don't need to feed so many people (not to mention I have a tiny oven). I think it's still just as festive ;)Roasting guide (Oven at 400°F/200°C):2 to 2.3 kg (4.5 to 5 pounds) - 65 to 75 min.1.6 to 1.8 kg (3.5 to 4 pounds) - 50 to 60 min.

My go-to weekend dinner recipe. Citrus Flavor packed chicken and potatoes.The first half of the process can be done in an Instant Pot and 2nd half in the oven for even browning. Or you can use an iron skillet throughout.😊

Simple, Easy, Delicious Lemon Garlic Roast Chicken Simple, Easy, Delicious Lemon Garlic Roast Chicken
Lots of people go to great lengths and expense to learn how to make a perfect whole roast bird. But unless I want to make a presentation of carving, I prefer the result of roasting individual drums, thighs, whole wings and half breast pieces (breast meat cooks much more quickly than dark) - lots of crispy chicken skin, great flavor, uniform cooking, and I get all the carving mess out of the way on the front end.If you're tempted to ask how to make a boneless, skinless version of this dish, don't. There is no joy in roast chicken without the flavor from the bones and the indulgence of perfectly browned and crispy chicken skin. :)The recipe takes about 2.5 hours TOTAL, but active time is more like 20 minutes. (10 to 15 minutes to season, 1 to 5 hours to marinate, 45 minutes to roast.)
