Directions
Salt-Rubbed Roast Chicken with Lemon & Thyme, From Tom Douglas of the Dahlia Lounge in Seattle. I admit it – when I first saw the amount of salt in this recipes I thought, “WHAT?” but Chef Douglas is incredible so I decided to trust him and try this recipe just like he said to. What can I say – it’s just delicious. My favorite way to roast a chicken now. You will be converted, too, once you try it. Great with mashed potatoes., This was a great chicken. I only used 1 tbsp salt and used it for the skin as well as inside the bird. I greased my roasting pan, cut an onion into 8 pieces and put the chicken on top of that I don’t have a small rack for chicken. I also placed some cut up potatoes and about 10 garlic cloves around the chicken. During the last 20 min, I added some baby carrots. What a beautiful dish! After 1 hour, the chicken wasn’t quite cooked through or browned enough maybe an additional 20-30 minutes would be necessary? but there were lots of delicious juices. I didn’t taste much lemon, so I think I would place some lemon slices on top of the chicken next time. I look forward to making this again! The bones are now in the slow cooker, on their way to making chicken stock!, I made this quite a while back but forgot to rate it. I found that leaving the chicken uncovered really made the skin crispy when it was roasted. I followed the recipe except used lemon pepper instead of regular pepper. Easy to follow directions and nice flavors. Thanks for posting, P4.
