Lemon, Garlic and Basil Slow Roasted Chicken


By A New York Foodie (Visit website)



I had a chicken in the freezer that I wanted to use up....seems I have a lot of things I want to use up lately...LOL!!! I got this recipe from Pam at For the Love of Cooking  Another one of her great recipes.  The chicken was very moist and flavorful and my family loved it.



Lemon, Garlic and  Basil  Slow Roasted Chicken
Serves 5

Ingredients
5 lb  chicken
Juice of one lemon
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2-3 leaves of fresh basil, chopped (I used more cause I love basil)
1-2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 large onion, sliced into large chunks
4-5 garlic cloves
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Clean chicken and pat dry. Mix the lemon juice (reserving the lemon halves), minced garlic, chopped basil and olive oil in a bowl then rub evenly over the entire bird. Carefully, lift the skin over the breasts and rub the mixture directly on the breast meat. Place onion and garlic inside the cavity along with some extra basil leaves and the used lemon halves. Sprinkle more salt and pepper on top of the chicken.
Place chicken in a roasting pan.Roast uncovered for 3 1/2 - 4 hours until the juices run clear. Baste after 2 hours, every half hour. I turned up the heat to 350 for the last 45 mins of cooking so the skin would crisp up.  Let the chicken rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.

Enjoy!
