Roasted Citrus Chicken

So Sorry for being MIA for weeks! I haven't bee cooking much lately since it was usually just me, myself and for dinner and I would just make something quick or go out with friends. Now that my family is back from summer vacay, get ready for me bombarding your emails with new posts:)


Today I got a fresh chicken from a farm, which is probably what made this diner so delicious...but feel free to use any kind of chicken or even duck.

The recipe is very simple. 3 ingrediets: Chicken, Lemons & Garlic.


I used 3 lemons : 2 cut up in wedges, and the 3rd to rub into the chicken.
Place the chicken in a baking dish.

Butter the whole chicken and rub garlic all over. (inside too)
Drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice and olive oil . Then fill the inside cavity with lemon wedges for more flavour.


Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 c) and bake for 1 1/2 hrs. Baking time depends on the weight of the bird ( mine was 3 lbs). Don't forget to baste it with the juices occasionally.
And it's finally ready!
