Roast Chicken with Garlic, Thyme and Lemon
Crispy skin and the incredible flavor of flavored butter make this chicken an ideal dish for family meals.
Ingredients
-
1 country chicken
-
6 cloves of garlic
Preparation Method
- Grind the garlic very well, season with salt with thyme, lemon, and bay leaf, and the lemon juice in the mincer. Then add the butter and grind until it forms a paste.
- Peel the skin off the meat – on the breast, back, and thighs, without tearing (use a glove) – and distribute ¾ of the seasoning paste under the skin.
- With the remaining paste, grease the chicken belly and all the outer skin. You can store it in the fridge for a few hours or bake it right away.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180º C, until the chicken reaches an interior temperature of 80º C. The oven time depends on the size of the chicken.
- As a rule, a smaller chicken takes about an hour. A larger chicken like this took an hour and a half.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before carving and serving, basting with the roast sauce.
