Directions
Oven Roasted Whole Lemon-Pepper Chicken and Veggies, This is a great meal for special family occasions It’s also an easy clean-up, one pan dish , This was a simple recipe and enjoyed by all I have never butterflied a chicken before and just removed the back bone I left the rib bones intact Made as directed other than cutting the oil in the rub to 2 tbsp I do think fresh garlic would enhance the flavor Thanks for sharing Made for Best of 2013 Cookbook tag , This dish is really simple and delicous used granualted garlic and kosher salt in place of the using a little less salt than called for, I also reduced the amount of oil The chicken juice gives amazing flavor to the veggies, and I was able to make a pan gravy from the brown bits after draining off almost all the fat It was rich and dark and looked more like beef gravy I put in almost a whole head of individual garlic cloves still their skins they added even more flavor squeezed into the dish I will be making this again Made for Recipes with our Photos Tag
