人妻廚房 – 擄獲對方芳心的求婚雞 Engagement Chicken
2) 將雞用紙巾拍打擦乾；將雞胸朝下放在一個中型有烤架的烤盤上，將檸檬汁均勻的倒入雞內與雞外；然後抹上鹽與胡椒粉將整隻雞內外都均勻調味。
3) 用叉子刺兩顆檸檬三次（每一次都在不同位置）然後放置這些檸檬在雞身裡。每隻雞的骨架身腔裡大小不同, 所以如果有檸檬部分露出, 這是沒有關係的。（如果檸檬太堅硬, 可以在叉子刺戳之前, 用手心將檸檬在廚桌上壓滾)
4) 將雞放入烤箱，降低烤箱溫度到華氏350度，烘烤15分鐘 (不用蓋)
5) 將烤盤從烤箱移開；用夾鉗或兩根木湯匙把整支雞讓雞胸朝上；在雞大腿上插入肉的溫度測量器，再把雞放回烤箱，繼續燒烤1小時～1小時15分鐘，或是肉的溫度計升到華氏180度然後當你用叉子插入雞大腿時，肉汁是呈現清澈無血色；如果需要可以繼續燒烤；畢竟每一台烤箱熱度不同：通常燒烤一支雞用華氏350度的時間差不多是每磅18~20分鐘，再另外加15分鐘。
6) 讓烤好的雞在切片之前休息個10分鐘；接下來的小撇步大家一定要學起來啊！淋上烤盤裡的肉汁到雞上, 這樣烤出來的雞保證可以讓對方幸福滿滿到會高喊出：「我們結婚吧！」(灑花～）最後用新鮮香草和檸檬片做裝飾就完成啦！
Engagement Chicken
Serves 2 to 4
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (approximately 4 pounds)
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, plus 3 whole lemons—including 1 sliced for garnish
- 1 tablespoon kosher or coarse sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Fresh herbs for garnish (4 rosemary sprigs, 4 sage sprigs, 8 thyme sprigs, and 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley)
1. Position an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the giblets from the chicken, wash the chicken inside and out with cold water, then let the chicken drain, cavity down, in a colander for 2 minutes.
2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place the chicken breast-side down in a medium roasting pan fitted with a rack and pour the lemon juice all over the chicken, both inside and out. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper inside and out.
3. Prick 2 whole lemons three times each in three different places with a fork and place them deep inside the cavity. Chicken cavity size may vary, so if one lemon is partly sticking out, that’s fine. (Tip: If the lemons are stiff, roll them on the countertop with your palm before pricking to get the juices flowing.)
4. Put the chicken in the oven, lower the oven temperature to 350°F, and roast, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
5. Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Using tongs or two wooden spoons, turn the chicken breast- side up. Insert a meat thermometer in the thigh, and return the chicken to the oven and roast for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the meat thermometer reads 180°F and the juices run clear when the thigh is pricked with a fork. Continue roasting if necessary. Keep in mind that cooking times in different ovens vary; roasting a chicken at 350°F takes approximately 18-20 minutes per pound, plus an additional 15 minutes.
6. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. And here’s the secret: Pour the juices from the roasting pan on top of the sliced chicken— this is the “marry me juice.” Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon slices.
