03 Method

Step 1

Zest the yellow rind of the lemon. Cut the lemon in half and juice half of the lemon into a small bowl. Add the rind, olive oil, softened butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir well (the mixture should be fairly thick).
Step 2

Gently lift the skin from the chicken breasts and place about 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture under the skin. Massage it evenly across the breasts.
Step 3

Cover the skin of the chicken with the remaining butter mixture. Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
Step 4

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Slice the remaining lemon half and place it inside the chicken along with 1/2 an onion. Tie the legs together. Place the chicken in a shallow pan breast side up and place in oven.
Step 5

Turn oven down to 375 degrees F and bake for 1 1/4 hour or until the inner thigh reaches 165 degrees F.
