Herb and Lemon Glazed Roasted Chicken

Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5: Glaze and Finish Roasting
After 1 hour of roasting, brush the chicken generously with the lemon glaze.
Continue roasting for another 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast.
Brush the chicken with more glaze every 10 minutes for a glossy, caramelized finish.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra citrusy touch.
Serving Suggestions
Pair this roasted chicken with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
Serve alongside crusty bread to soak up the flavorful pan juices.
Tips for Success
Dry the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure crispy skin.
Baste Frequently: Basting adds flavor and moisture to the chicken and helps achieve golden, crispy skin.
Use a Meat Thermometer: Ensure perfectly cooked chicken by checking the internal temperature.
Customize Herbs: Use your favorite fresh herbs like parsley, sage, or oregano for a personalized touch.
