Succulent roast chicken dinner
Orange-Tarragon Roast Chicken
ACTIVE TIME: 30 min. TOTAL TIME: 2 hrs. SERVES: 8
For easy hands-off basting, spread flavored butter under chicken skin-it'll melt over the meat during roasting, making it irresistibly tender and juicy
- 1 lemon
- 1 orange
- 4 sprigs fresh tarragon
- 6 Tbs. butter, at room temp.
- 1 (4-5 lb.) roasting chicken
1 Heat oven to 375°F. Grate 1 Tbs. zest and squeeze 1 Tbs. juice from lemon; grate 2 tsp. zest and squeeze 2 Tbs. juice from orange. Reserve 1 orange and 1 lemon half. Chop 2 sprigs tarragon. In bowl, using fork, mash together citrus zest and juice, chopped tarragon and butter. Season with 4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
2 Using fingers, gently loosen skin from breast meat; spread butter mixture underneath and over skin. Place reserved lemon and orange halves and remaining tarragon in chicken cavity; if desired, truss chicken. Transfer chicken to roasting pan; add 1 cup water. Cook until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh away from bone registers 170°F and juices run clear, about 12 hrs. Transfer to serving platter; tent with foil. Let stand 10 min before carving. Drizzle with pan juices and butter from bottom of pan.
