Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 whole chickens (3 1/2 to 4 pounds each), rinsed and patted dry inside and out, necks reserved (livers and giblets discarded)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 lemon, quartered
1 head garlic, halved horizontally, then vertically
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 bunch fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
Pan Sauce for Roast Chicken (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Season chicken cavities with salt and pepper. Dividing evenly, stuff with lemon, garlic, and sprigs of thyme and rosemary (reserve a few sprigs of each for garnish).
  • With a heavy knife, coarsely chop necks, and scatter in a large roasting pan. Place chickens, breast side up, on a rack set in pan. Using cotton kitchen twine, securely tie legs together; tuck wing tips underneath chickens.
  • Rub chickens with butter; season with salt. Roast, occasionally brushing chickens with pan juices, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165, about 1 hour. Transfer chickens to a platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 10 to 15 minutes before carving. If desired, prepare Pan Sauce to serve with chickens.

Roast Chicken With Herb Cheese, Chili, and Lime Stuffing image

This is a winner with family and friends. It's full of lovely flavours. I've made it with bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts as well, and just reduced the stuffing ingredients and cooking time to suit.

Provided by Alison J.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h50m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (4 lb) whole chickens
1 lime
1/2 cup cream cheese with garlic and herbs
1 mild red chili peppers or 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Use the point of a knife and your fingers to carefully separate the skin from the meat of the chicken across the breast and over the tops of the legs. Just loosen the skin with the knife, then carefully run your fingers underneath. Try not to tear the skin.
  • Grate the lime and beat the rind into the cream cheese along with the chopped pepper.
  • Pack the cream cheese stuffing under the skin of the chicken, using a teaspoon, until fairly evenly distributed.
  • Push the skin back into place, then smooth out the stuffing into an even layer by gently rubbing your hands over the skin.
  • Put the chicken in a roasting pan and squeeze the juice from the lime all over top.
  • Roast for 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through. If the top of the chicken becomes too browned, cover the chicken with foil towards the end of the cooking time.
  • Carve the chicken, spoon the pan juices over top, and serve.

Time 2h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup butter, divided
3 large onions, sliced
2 cups sliced celery
1 leek, sliced
2 teaspoons lemon zest
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

½ loaf French bread, cut into 3/4-inch slices
¼ cup fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and leek. Cook and stir until softened, about 10 minutes.

CHILI LIME CHICKEN



Chili Lime Chicken image

This recipe combines many of the spices that I grew up with and that have become a distinctive part of much of my cooking including dishes such as chili Colorado, posole, and Frontera™ style carne asada. I would describe this dish as more Tex-Mex or New Mexican than Mexican. Serve on a bed of rice or slice thinly for use in tacos or to top a green salad.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon butter, at room temperature
1 shallot, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
1 piece fresh ginger (2 inches long), peeled and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon finely chopped pickled jalapeno chile
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons ground coriander
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 whole chicken (3 1/2 pounds)
2 large onions, thickly sliced
1 lime, cut into 8 wedges (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the ginger-chile butter: In a small bowl, using a spoon, mash together 2 tablespoons butter, shallot, ginger, jalapeno, lime juice, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Using fingers, gently loosen skin from chicken breasts. With a small spoon, insert butter mixture evenly between skin and meat; pat skin back down. Tie chicken legs together with cotton kitchen twine; tuck wing tips underneath. Rub chicken with remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter; season generously with salt and pepper. On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange onions in a single layer; place chicken on top.
  • Roast until chicken is well browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in a thigh (without touching bone) reads 175 degrees, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and tent with oil; let rest 10 minutes (the temperature will rise by about 5 degrees).
  • On baking sheet, stir onions together with pan juices. Carve chicken; serve with onions and, if desired, lime wedges.
