LEMON-ROASTED CHICKEN
I heard about this "engagement chicken" on the radio, and searched it out online and read how a few different people did it. Here is my variation on it - guaranteed to result in super moist lemon-roasted chicken! And yes - I did get proposed to within 3 months of making it! Looks super pretty and tastes amazing! I usually pair the chicken with a lasagna or a vegetable medley.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse chicken thoroughly with cold water, empty the cavity, and pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- Place chicken, breast-side down, into a roasting pan. Squeeze juice from 1 1/2 lemons over chicken.
- Mix salt and pepper together in a small bowl and spread mixture all over chicken using your hands.
- Roll 2 lemons on the countertop to soften them a bit. Puncture several times with a fork and cram into the cavity of the chicken.
- Place roasting pan in the preheated oven and lower temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Pull out chicken and turn over using wooden spoons or tongs. Return to the oven and continue to bake until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear when the thigh is pricked with a fork, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving. Cut remaining lemon into slices. Transfer chicken to a serving dish and garnish with lemon slices and fresh rosemary. Pour juices from the roasting pan over the chicken to make it super juicy.

PAN ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH LEMON AND CAPER SAUCE
From Cook's Illustrated. Very much like Chicken Piccatta, but moister, with less hands-on time required. But also not as quick - the choice is yours. (I must warn you that the skillet handle is HOT when removed from the oven. Despite repeated reminders to myself, I still grabbed it while making the sauce.)

PAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND WHOLE GRAIN MUSTARD
This is my secret for success with a small roasted chicken. It's skin will be mahogany brown and crackling, while all of it's meat, white and dark alike, will be moist and flavorful. You can butterfly the chicken yourself if you don't have a butcher that will do it for you. It's easy with poultry shears. Working slowly and deliberately, use the shears to cut along each side of the backbone from neck to tail and remove it. Turn the bird breast-up, spread it open, and flatten it with a firm blow from the heel of your hand. Easy Peasy, and mighty delicious!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450*F.
- Prepare the chicken by gently easing your fingertips between the skin and the meat at the neck opening, to loosen the skin all over the breast, taking care not to tear the skin.
- Insert the parsley sprig, basil or rosemary under the skin.
- Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat an oven-proof skillet large enough to hold the chicken over high heat.
- Add the olive oil and swirl it in the skillet.
- As soon as you begin to see slight wisps of smoke, carefully place the chicken skin side down in the skillet.
- Sear the chicken, undisturbed, while reducing the heat little by little to medium, until it's skin has turned golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Carefully turn the chicken skin side up.
- Put the skillet with the chicken into the preheated oven and cook until the chicken is deep golden brown and the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh meat is pierced with a thin skewer, 10 to 15 minutes more, depending on it's size.
- When the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet with tongs and transfer it to a cutting board.
- Pour off all but a thin glaze of fat from the skillet.
- Return the skillet to high heat, add the chicken stock and the lemon juice, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan.
- Boil the liquid down until it has reduced by half it's volume, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Turn down the heat and add the mustard, stirring briskly with a wire whisk.
- Add the butter a piece at a time to make a creamy sauce, making sure each piece has been incorporated completely before adding the next.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in half of the parsley or basil.
- To serve, spoon the sauce into the centers of two to four heated plates.
- With a large sharp knife, cut the chicken into two halves or four equal pieces.
- Place the chicken on the plates, sprinkle with the remaining parsley or basil and serve.
THE BEST ROASTED LEMON CHICKEN
This easy to prepare recipe was found in a Cook's Illustrated Magazine. It takes alittle time, but well worth it. I left out the final steps because it wasn't needed for this juicy & best tasting roasted chicken that I have ever come across. I think the secret of the juicyness is that you brine the chicken first. So this is a must for this recipe.

Steps:
- In a large bowl (enough to hold chicken plus two quarts water) disolve salt in water. Add chicken and submerge, covering with lid. I put a small domed lid over chicken before covering so that the whole chicken is under water. Refrigerate for 1 hour. After one hour remove chicken and pat dry with paper towel. Set aside and prepare rack.
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray V-rack (can use another rack, but chicken must be above liquid, at least 2") with cooking spray and set in flameproof roasting pan or lasagna pan.
- Cut lemons lengthwise into quarters. Rub garlic in the cavity of the chicken. Add lemons, fit as many as you can without over stuffing. Thread long wooden or metal skewers through flaps to close cavity. Brush breast side up with butter and season GENEROUSLY with pepper. Then do other side. Place chicken breast side down in V-rack and roast chicken for another 40 minutes.
- Remove roasting pan & chicken from oven and increase temperature to 450 degrees. Using 2 large wads of paper towels turn chicken over to breast side up. Add chicken broth to pan, place chicken back in oven and roast for another 35-40 minutes or until thermometer registers 165 to 170 degrees.
- Once chicken has finished, "remove lemons", and let sit for at least 10 minutes before carving. Then carve and enjoy.
