When I saw this recipe in the April 2006 issue of Southern Living, I simply had to try it. It looks like you spent a lot of time preparing it, but the recipe actually cooks up very quickly. Serve with potatoes or rice and a salad...voila, dinner is ready in about 40 minutes. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1 (3 -3 1/2 lb) broiler-fryer chickens, cut into pieces |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
2 teaspoons lemon rind, grated |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the salt, oregano, garlic powder, lemon pepper, paprika and red pepper.
2. Cover a roasting pan with foil and place a rack in it; lightly spray the rack with cooking spray.
3. Skin side down, place the chicken on the rack.
4. Sprinkle the chicken with 2 t of the seasoning mixture.
5. Making sure your oven rack is about 7-8 from the heat, broil the chicken until golden brown (about 12-15 minutes).
6. Turn the chicken pieces over and sprinkle with the remaining spice mixture.
7. Broil about 8-10 more minutes, or until chicken is done.
8. Lemon Butter Sauce: Combine the melted butter, lemon rind and lemon juice.
9. Mix well and add in the parsley.
10. Spoon a small amount of sauce over each piece of chicken when served.
