Lemon Roasted Chicken w/ Potatoes
What You Need:
- 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- Coarse salt, to taste
- 1 whole chicken, appr. 6 lbs.
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 12 stems of fresh thyme
- 2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 halved (I didn’t have lemons, so I used oranges)
- 4 T. unsalted butter, softened
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
What You Do:
Preheat oven to 375°. Cook potatoes in simmering salted water until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Drain. Place chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up. Scatter potatoes, garlic, thyme and 1/2 lemon slices around chicken. Dot potatoes with butter. Stuff chicken with lemon half and thyme stems. Truss chicken. Rub butter on skin. Loosen skin and place remaining lemon slices under the skin. Squeeze lemon juice all over the chicken and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until chicken is cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
Hope you enjoy this dinner as much as we did. Thanks for having Dinner at The Hampton’s and see you around the table next time!
