Lemon & Herb Chicken 🍗 🍋🌿

Ingredients:

1 Lemon & Herb Flat Whole Chicken

1 lemon

1 onion cut into rings

4 tbsp butter

Aluminum foil

Marinade

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup lemon juice

zest of 1 lemon

3 garlic cloves crushed

1 tsp oregano

2 tsp dried mixed herbs

2 tsp fresh thyme leaves

2 tsp fresh rosemary

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp chilli/red pepper flakes

2 tsp salt

METHOD: 🧪

1. Preheat oven to 200.C, line a rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil. Place a rack on top of the foil.

2. Mix together the marinade ingredients. Place the chicken in a container and pour over the marinade, make sure the chicken is well-coated then cover and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.

3. Once marinated, place the chicken onto the rack in the oven proof roasting dish from step 1. Add 3-4 lemon slices under the flat chicken before roasting, make sure the chicken is placed skin-side up on the rack.

4. Roast the chicken in the oven until it is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, a cooking time of about 45 to 55 minutes.

5. While the chicken is cooking in the oven, prepare the caramelised onions. Place chopped onion rings and 3-4 tbsp of butter in a deep heavy-based frying pan on low heat. Stir the onions occasionally to allow the onion to catch on the base, cook until golden brown. Once caramelised, set aside.

6. Once cooked, remove chicken from oven and transfer to a serving platter. Place some caramelised onions on the top of the roast chicken, garnish with some fresh rosemary and lemon slices.

ENJOY 😋
