LEMON ROAST CHICKEN
Submitted by: Shirley
Ingredients:
1 chicken cut up (or 4 breasts) (no skin)
1 head garlic (or garlic salt)
2 unwaxed lemons (quartered)
small handful fresh thyme (or powdered)
2 tablespoons olive oil
10 tablespoons white wine (A MUST!)
black pepper.
Directions:
Put everything in the roasting dish and leave it to cook in the oven at 300 degrees for two hours. I covered it with foil, but the last 30 minutes removed the foil for the chicken to brown a little.
How simple is that? It was DIVINE! The neat thing is that you turn the lemon from being a flavoring to being a major player; left in chunks to cook slowly, they seem almost to caramelize. You can eat them, skin, pith, and all, their sour bitterness sweetened in the heat.
Try it, you'll like it!
