Lemon Garlic Chicken
Ingredients:
3 Tbsps. butter, melted
2 large cloves garlic, pressed
1/4 fresh lemon, squeezed, pulped and zested
2-3 lbs. chicken, cut into serving pieces, or 1 whole roasting hen
1 cup poultry stock or water
Salt and pepper to taste
Cornstarch and water as thickener if desired
Arrange chicken in a large baking dish and season with the salt and pepper. Add stock or water to the pan. Place in a 400 degree oven on the topmost shelf.
Combine butter, garlic and lemon. Use this mixture to baste the chicken often during cooking. Larger chicken pieces will take about 1 hour to cook. Cooking time may be adjusted for smaller pieces or a whole bird. When chicken is done, place the pan under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to crisp and brown the surface slightly.
Pan drippings may be defatted (add a bit of water, stock or white wine to deglaze the pan if drippings have cooked down) and thickened slightly with a cornstarch and water mixture to make a delightful sauce if desired. Pour sauce over the poultry or serve on the side. Serves 4.
