Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 1 chicken (About 1.4 kg)
- 3 untreated lemons
- 2 Tbsps vegetable oil
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
- 250 milliliters chicken stock
- 2 Tbsps honey
- 2 centiliters sherry
- Lemon wedge (for garnish)
Preparation steps
Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F).
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Rinse 1 lemon in hot water, pat dry and finely grate peel. In a bowl, mix half lemon zest with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover chicken with lemon zest mixture.
Tie chicken legs together with kitchen twine and fold wings behind the back of the chicken.
Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
Place prepared chicken breast-side down in an ovenproof dish and roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. While cooking, add chicken broth and occasionally pour over chicken with the roasting juices. Add some lemon slices and cook in the preheated oven for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Remove chicken from the oven. Mix honey, sherry, remaining lemon zest and 1 teaspoon oil in a bowl. Brush honey mixture over the chicken and roast in a 250°C (approximately 475°F) for about 10-15 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
To serve, cut lemon chicken into quarters and serve with lemon wedges on a plate.
