Time 2h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons herbes de Provence
1 medium lemon, juiced and halves reserved
1 (5 to 6-pound) roasting chicken
4 sprigs rosemary
8 cloves garlic
1 thinly-sliced white onion
4 fennel bulbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, and lemon juice in a bowl, whisking until emulsified.
  • Pour over the chicken, taking care to completely coat it. Insert the reserved squeezed lemons, plus the rosemary and garlic into the cavity. Layer the onions in a roasting pan and place the chicken on top. Slice the fennel in half lengthwise and surround the chicken with it, cut side down.
  • Put the chicken in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 250 degrees F and roast for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, basting occasionally.
