Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the whole chicken in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Discard the marinade.
- In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with a little olive oil to form a crumbly mixture. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken to form a crust.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve the herb crusted roast chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
The Herb Crusted Roast Chicken with lemon and garlic marinade has a rich history dating back to traditional European cuisine. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Gordon Ramsay have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The succulent chicken is marinated in a zesty blend of lemon, garlic, and herbs, creating a tantalizing flavor profile. This classic dish is a staple in French and Italian culinary traditions, with variations found in regions like Provence and Tuscany. For the best version of this dish, sourcing high-quality, organic chicken and using fresh herbs is essential. Alternatively, spatchcocking the chicken before roasting can result in a juicy and evenly cooked bird.
