Lemon and Mint Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 small red onions, peeled, each cut through the roots into 8 wedges
  • 2 cups mint leaves
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 lemon slice in 1/4” slice
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 Tbsp. ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
  • Sea salt
  • One 4 lb. chicken

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven at 425 F. Let the chicken stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, combine mint, garlic, ginger, and lemon juice and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the butter, cumin, black pepper, garlic and 1 teaspoon of sea salt.
  3. Rub the seasoned butter evenly under the skin of the chicken. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and set the chicken in a medium roasting pan. Loosen the skin on the breast and leg and spread some butter on the chicken underneath the skin. Rub the remaining butter over top of the skin. Stuff the chicken with lemon slices.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Deposit the onion wedge at the bottom of a roasting pan and sit the chicken on top. Roast the chicken in the upper third of the oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F. Transfer the chicken to a carving board and let rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Pour the pan juices into a glass measuring cup. Carve the chicken and serve with the pan juices.
