Pollo al Limone

🌍 Italian, National Difficulty: ●●●○○


Chicken roasted or braised with lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. The lemon juice goes in early so the acid can tenderize the meat during cooking. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon at the end for brightness — the cooked juice alone turns flat.

Ingredients

  • 1 chicken, jointed
  • 2 lemons, juice and zest
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • Olive oil, rosemary

Method

  1. Marinating — Marinate chicken 1 hour in lemon, garlic, oil, rosemary.
  2. Roasting — Roast 200°C (400°F), 45 min basting with juices.
