A simple and heartfelt Signature Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken recipe that highlights the quality of premium halal chicken brands with fresh citrus and aromatic herbs.

Ingredients

Scale

1 4-5 lbs Whole Halal Chicke
0.25 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 large Lemons
6-8 cloves Garlic Cloves
3 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
To taste Sea Salt & Black Pepper
2 tbsp Unsalted Butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C)
  2. Remove the chicken from its packaging and pat the skin completely dry with paper towels
  3. Generously sprinkle salt and pepper inside the cavity. Stuff the cavity with half a lemon, half the garlic, and two rosemary sprigs
  4. Carefully loosen the skin over the breast meat and slide the softened butter underneath
  5. Rub the entire outside of the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle more salt and pepper over the exterior
  6. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and scatter the remaining garlic and lemon slices around it
  7. Roast for about 60 to 75 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C)
  8. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving

Notes

Use reputable halal chicken brands like Crescent Foods or Saffron Road for best results.

Bring the meat to room temperature before cooking to ensure it cooks evenly.

Trussing the chicken with kitchen twine keeps the wings and legs tucked in for a uniform cook.

If you want extra crispy skin, leave the chicken uncovered in the fridge for an hour before seasoning.

Save the pan drippings; they make an incredible gravy or sauce for side dishes.
