Well my kids love this and are always asking me to make it. It really is not that difficult. You may not have all the items you need in the kitchen so make yourself a list as you read down through the recipe.
-I use a roasting chicken but you can use any kind you have
-you need to clean the chicken inside and out..yep that means removing the neck and gizzards.
-after hes been washed pat him dry with a paper towel
-put him off to the side as we get the sauce together for inside the roasting pan.
-you’ll need a pretty good sauce pan or deep skillet, you want enough sauce left to drizzle over the chicken after it is done cooking.
-you need chicken broth or stock at least a box I use two. Dump in in the sauce pan
-take a lemon roll it on the cutting board then cut in half. Holding the cut side up squeeze the juice from both half’s into the pan.
-green onions, fresh parsley and basil, salt and pepper to your taste
-also at least 4 cloves of garlic chopped and put into sauce.
-let everything sit in there and simmer a few mins together before transferring the sauce to the bottom of your roaster
-once the sauce and chicken are in the roaster it is time to give the chicken a massage.
-I rub my chicken down with extra virgin olive oil, cover all parts of skin.
-salt, pepper, basil, oregano, garlic salt and paprika are to be sprinkled on him next
-Take another lemon roll it on the cutting board and cut it in half. With the cut side up squeeze the lemon juice of both half’s on the chicken
-now for the rear of the chicken. Cut a lemon, orange and onion in half and put them in his rear. yep where you would put the stuffing. Also put in a few cloves of garlic
-its ready to go in a 350 degree oven. how long it cooks depends on how big he is.
-usually I do an hour in a half at 350 then i cover him up with foil and slow cook him at 200 to 250 for the remainder of the time in the oven
-I do warn you your house will smell wonderful while he is cooking and it may increase your and your kids appetite for the day.
It takes a bit to get him going but it is so worth it. When i serve this not only to I put sauce over the chicken on the platter I also have a dish of sauce at the table for extra dipping fun.
