This is the recipe that has caused a stir among women seeking to get their boyfriends to propose. It was featured in Glamour magazine in 2004 and reprinted again in the July 2006 issue. Many women have claimed that their boyfriends have proposed to them shortly after preparing this chicken recipe. It is even rumored that Beth Ostrosky tried it and she recently married Howard Stern!
Ingredients
~ 1 whole chicken (approx. 3 lbs)
~ 2 medium lemons
~ 1/2 cup (125 ml) fresh lemon juice
~ Sea salt or Kosher salt
~ Ground black pepper
Preparation
~ Place rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 400 degrees.
~ Remove giblets and innards, then wash the chicken inside and out with cold water.
~ Drain the bird, cavity down, in a colander until it reaches room temperature (about 15 minutes).
~ Pat dry with paper towels.
~ Pour lemon juice all over the chicken (inside and out).
~ Season with salt and pepper.
~ Prick the whole lemons three times with a fork and place deep inside the cavity (If hard, roll the lemons on the counter to release the juices before pricking them.)
~ Place the chicken breast-side down on a rack in a roasting pan.
~ Lower the oven temp to 350 degrees and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
~ Remove from oven and turn bird breast-side up (use spoons not forks).
~ Return it to the oven for 35 minutes more.
~ To check to see if the chicken is done, insert a meat thermometer in the thigh; it should read 180 degrees (80 C.), or juices should run clear when pricked with a fork.
~ Continue baking if necessary.
~ Let chicken cool for a few minutes before carving.
~ Serve with juices.
