Recipe: Lemon and Lavender Chicken recipe
Misc.ADVERTISEMENT
Linda - I found this recipe on another site (I just had to look for one after reading your description - I want to make it too!!). I'm not sure whether it is like the one you had, and I haven't tried it, but it does sound good.
Proven al Herb and Lemon Roasted Chicken
SERVINGS: 4
2 tablespoons finely chopped thyme, plus 6 sprigs
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary, plus 1 small sprig
1 teaspoon lavender, preferably flowering, plus 1 small sprig
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
One 3 1/2 - to 4-pound chicken, wing tips removed
1 lemon, preferably Meyer--halved, juice squeezed into a bowl, halves reserved
6 unpeeled garlic cloves, lightly smashed
1 cup water
1. Preheat the oven to 450 . In a small bowl, combine the chopped thyme, rosemary and lavender leaves with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
2. Carefully loosen the skin over the chicken breast and legs; don't tear the skin. Gently work the herb paste under the skin, spreading it all over the breast and legs. Season the cavity with salt and pepper and stuff with the reserved lemon halves, garlic cloves and herb sprigs.
3. Set the chicken in a medium flameproof roasting pan and rub the skin with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Drizzle with half of the lemon juice and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 20 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining lemon juice, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 and roast for about 40 minutes longer, or until the juices run clear when a thigh is pierced; baste once or twice during cooking. Cover the bird loosely with foil if it browns too quickly. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
4. Spoon off the fat from the roasting pan and set the pan on 2 burners over moderately high heat. Add the water and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Boil the sauce until reduced to 3/4 cup, then strain and serve with the chicken.
