ROSEMARY CHICKEN WITH GARLIC
Serves 2–3
1
3–3
1
⁄
2
pound chicken, rinsed and
patted dry
1
lemon, cut in half
(for roasting chicken, not rotisserie)
2
sprigs rosemary
2
cloves garlic, smashed
3
⁄
4
teaspoon kosher salt
1
⁄
2
teaspoon crushed black pepper
1
tablespoon olive oil
butcher's twine if using rotisserie function
If roasting chicken, preheat oven to 375˚F on convection
bake.
Squeeze lemon all over outside and inside chicken.
Stuff the chicken with the lemon halves, rosemary sprigs,
garlic cloves, and pinch of the salt and pepper. Sprinkle the
rest of the salt and pepper all over the skin of the chicken
and then rub the olive oil all over the skin.
To roast:
Place chicken on baking sheet lined with foil.
Roast for 45 minutes to an hour in rack position 1 or 2
(bottom or middle rack position) until the juices run clear
when the thigh is pierced.
If using the rotisserie:
Prepare chicken as above, omitting
the lemon. Truss the chicken well. Insert the rotisserie spit
through the chicken, securing the rotisserie skewers with
the fixing screws so that the chicken is stabilized. Secure
the rotisserie spit in the oven into the spit support and
socket. Turn oven to 400˚F and turn to rotisserie on the
function dial. Roast for about 45 minutes to an hour, so
that when the thigh is pierced the juices run clear. To
ensure even, crispy skin, turn the function to regular bake
when the chicken breasts are facing up for the last 5–10
