Perfect Roast Chicken
The Combo Steam + Convection Oven creates the foolproof chicken –
crispy and moist, no oil necessary!
Active Time: 10 minutes Total Time: Overnight, plus 60 minutes
Makes 4 servings
1
whole chicken (4 pounds)
½
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3
garlic cloves, crushed
3
sprigs fresh thyme
3
sprigs fresh rosemary
2
sprigs fresh oregano
1½
teaspoons kosher salt
1
medium lemon, halved
1. Season the chicken with the pepper and toss with the garlic and fresh
herbs. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
2. Remove chicken from the refrigerator. Sprinkle liberally with salt and
squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and stuff the lemon into its cavity
with the garlic and fresh herbs. Tie the legs of the chicken together with
butcher’s twine, if desired (this helps the chicken to cook more evenly).
3. Put the chicken on the baking pan and put in the oven with the rack in the
lower rack position. Set to Bake Steam at 450°F for 50 minutes, or until
chicken is cooked and skin is golden brown. Internal temperature of the
breast/light meat should be 165°F and thigh/dark meat should be 170°F.
4. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving or serving.
