Lillian Zacky's Garlic Chicken
Lillian Zacky's Garlic Chicken
(Image is coming soon! HAHAH! But not REALLY soon!)
Lillian Zacky's Garlic Chicken delivers extraordinary flavor through brilliantly simple technique. This recipe transforms a whole chicken into a garlic lover's dream by infusing it with whole cloves inside and crushed garlic outside. The lemon slices tucked into the cavity add bright notes that balance the rich garlic flavor. The genius final step—wrapping the cooked chicken in foil for an hour—allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in exceptionally moist, tender meat with concentrated flavor. A foolproof method for creating restaurant-quality roast chicken at home.

Ingredients
1 whole roaster chicken
Lots of garlic cloves
1 lemon
Seasoned salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1 cup water or clear chicken broth
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Wash the chicken inside and out, leaving it moist to allow seasoning to adhere to skin.
Crush half the garlic cloves (use more or fewer depending on how much you like garlic).
Slice the lemon.
Season the cavity of the chicken with seasoned salt and pepper.
Place the whole garlic cloves in the cavity of the chicken, along with the sliced lemon (skin and all).
Season the outer portion of the chicken with crushed garlic, seasoned salt and pepper.
Pour the one cup liquid in the bottom of the broiler pan.
Place the chicken breast-side down on a V-rack in the broiler pan uncovered.
Bake the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
You can test the temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the breast next to the wing.
When the chicken is done, remove it from the rack and pan and completely encase it in aluminum foil so that no steam can escape.
Let the chicken remain in foil for one hour, then remove and carve.
