Best chicken ever!
Ingredients:
4-6 pound butterflied or spatchcock chicken
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground pepper
10 sprigs parsley
1 lemon (juiced then quartered)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Using a hand or standing blender combine olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, juice of one lemon (save lemon) and parsley to form a paste. With your hands, gently release the skin from the meat without ripping it. Then, liberally spread the paste under chicken skin.
Sear skin side down on stove on medium high using a dutch oven, or large rimmed pan until brown and pour remaining paste on the inside, which should be facing up. Flip the chicken over carefully and place lemon quarters underneath. Bake for 40 minutes or until chicken registers 165 degrees. Remove from oven to rest. Make pan sauce from drippings by heating fat, adding a sprinkling of flour, cooking for one minute, then adding 1 cup of chicken stock if desired.
Andrea Klein shares this recipe with our readers. She adds “Do not be fooled by the length of this recipe. While the steps are short, making sure you don’t skimp on any one of them is key. First, you must know, I only teach and share recipes that I promise that you will make over and over again. This is the way to make the juiciest, most flavorful chicken in the shortest amount of time.”
