人妻厨房 – 掳获对方芳心的求婚鸡 Engagement Chicken
2) 将鸡用纸巾拍打擦干；将鸡胸朝下放在一个中型有烤架的烤盘上，将柠檬汁均匀的倒入鸡内与鸡外；然后抹上盐与胡椒粉将整只鸡内外都均匀调味。
3) 用叉子刺两颗柠檬三次（每一次都在不同位置）然后放置这些柠檬在鸡身里。每只鸡的骨架身腔里大小不同, 所以如果有柠檬部分露出, 这是没有关系的。（如果柠檬太坚硬, 可以在叉子刺戳之前, 用手心将柠檬在厨桌上压滚)
4) 将鸡放入烤箱，降低烤箱温度到华氏350度，烘烤15分钟 (不用盖)
5) 将烤盘从烤箱移开；用夹钳或两根木汤匙把整支鸡让鸡胸朝上；在鸡大腿上插入肉的温度测量器，再把鸡放回烤箱，继续烧烤1小时～1小时15分钟，或是肉的温度计升到华氏180度然后当你用叉子插入鸡大腿时，肉汁是呈现清澈无血色；如果需要可以继续烧烤；毕竟每一台烤箱热度不同：通常烧烤一支鸡用华氏350度的时间差不多是每磅18~20分钟，再另外加15分钟。
6) 让烤好的鸡在切片之前休息个10分钟；接下来的小撇步大家一定要学起来啊！淋上烤盘里的肉汁到鸡上, 这样烤出来的鸡保证可以让对方幸福满满到会高喊出：「我们结婚吧！」(洒花～）最后用新鲜香草和柠檬片做装饰就完成啦！
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.
