Lemon-Garlic Roasted Chicken

The chicken is delicious served simply with its own juices, but this garlic sauce is so good you may want to double the recipe.

Ingredients
1 chicken (3 ½ to 4 pounds)
salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
2 lemons, cut into halves
4 to 6 cloves garlic, peeled, left whole
5 to 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
Garlic Sauce (recipe follows)
Additional rosemary sprigs and lemon wedges for garnish


Preparation

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour

Rinse chicken; pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then rub the skin with butter. Place lemons, garlic and rosemary in cavity of chicken. Tuck wings under back and tie legs together with cotton string.

Arrange medium-low Kingsford® Charcoal briquets on each side of a rectangular metal or foil drip pan. Pour in hot tap water to fill pan half full. Place chicken, breast side up, on grid, directly above the drip pan. Grill chicken, on a covered grill, about 1 hour until a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 175° F to 180° F or until the joints move easily and juices run clear when chicken is pierced. Add a few briquets to both sides of the fire, if necessary, to maintain a constant temperature.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare Garlic Sauce. When chicken is done, carefully lift it from the grill to a wide shallow bowl so that all the juices from the cavity run into the bowl. Transfer juices to a small bowl or gravy boat. Carve chicken; serve with Garlic Sauce and cooking juices. Garnish with additional rosemary sprigs and lemon wedges.

Serve on Dixie Ultra® plates and make clean-up a breeze.

½ cup water

¼ cup Food Lion butter, softened

Preparation
Heat oil in a saucepan; add garlic cloves and lemon peel; sauté over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until garlic just starts to brown in a few spots.
