Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wipe the chicken dry with paper towels. Squeeze the lemon over the inside and outside of the chicken.

  2. Step 2

    Arrange the chicken in a roasting pan. Place the garlic in the water around the chicken. Pour the melted butter and oil over the chicken.

  3. Step 3

    Roast for 45 minutes to one hour, or until the chicken is cooked, basting frequently during cooking time. The garlic should roast without burning once the water has evaporated. Should the garlic start to brown too fast, add a little more water.

  4. Step 4

    To serve, arrange chicken on a platter surrounded by garlic and toasted bread. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley. Allow the chicken to rest at room temperature before serving.

I cooked on a convection roast setting in a carbon steel pan that had been preheated to 325. Roasted for 20 minutes per hour, 80 minutes. Because I was using a “reactive” roaster I only squeezed a little lemon juice in and on the chicken, but added the peeled zest inside the cavity. Otherwise prepared as written. It was superb!
