Lemon-Rosemary Roast Chicken

For New Year’s Eve dinner, Lawrence, Elwyna, Michelle, and I tried our collective hands at our version of a recipe from QEFTSG.

1 chicken
1 lemon*, quartered and zested
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus several sprigs for stuffing and garnishing
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
2 garlic cloves, chopped
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions, quartered

Preheat pot with pot holder inside. The pot holder is to keep the chicken from getting in contact with the heat directly.

Mix lemon zest, chopped rosemary, salt, pepper, and garlic. Dump half inside chicken along with lemon and some  sprigs of rosemary.

Add olive oil into bowl and mix. Massage all over the outside of chicken.
Wrap chicken in foil and throw in some onions.

Put in pre-heated pot and roast for as long as necessary

*We actually used some weird citrus since no lemon was available. Bad idea. It resulted in a weird bitter after-taste.
