Sunday night dinner is sacrilegious at our house. Is the time where we all gather. It is also the time that I look forward to spending more time in the kitchen preparing our Sunday night dinner. A tradition that we have absolutely enjoy.
Roasted Chicken is one of my favorite dishes to prepare. The preparation is minimal, what there is not to love about that? The stove is clean. Most of all, the oven does it all.
I love the simplicity of this recipe.
Feel free to improvise if you do not have all the ingredients that I used with my recipe. Shallots are a perfect substitute for the leek. Use as much garlic as you wish, and oranges can replace the lemons. Have fun with it.
Rule of thumb when cooking a chicken in the oven, 30 minutes at 375F per pound.
It is safe to say that we love to eat roast chicken, and I love leftovers. A quick chop and add them to mixed green and a light vinaigrette. Or add some of your favorite condiments and create a quick sandwich.
Endless possibilities.
