Citrus Roasted Chicken
Use this chicken as the base for Rachael's Ancho Chicken Soft Tacos.
Ingredients
- 4- to 5-pound roasting chicken
- 1 orange, quartered
- 1 lemon, quartered and seeded
- 1 small onion, peeled and quartered
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus extra for drizzling
Yields: 4-6 servings
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425ºF.
Stuff the chicken cavity with the orange, lemon, onion and bay leaves. Tie up the legs and season the outside with salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken to a roasting pan, drizzle with a little EVOO and roast until the juices run clear and a thermometer reads 160ºF, about 90 minutes.
If making Ancho Chicken Soft Tacos, allow the chicken to cool until you can handle it comfortably.
