YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Super-easy sage and lemon chicken in a pot By You Magazine - March 17, 2019 Cooking this sage and lemon chicken in a pot saves on effort and the washing up – pop your ingredients into a roasting tin or large casserole dish and roast until tender and flavourful. Sunday lunch never looked simpler! Chris Alack SERVES 4 1 x 1.8kg good quality free-range chicken 1 lemon, halved sea salt and black pepper a large handful of sage leaves extra virgin olive oil 30g unsalted butter TO SERVE extra sage leaves a little lemon zest 1. Preheat the oven to 210C/190C fan/gas 6½. Squeeze the lemon over the chicken, pop the squeezed halves inside and loosely secure the legs with string, leaving some air between leg and breast. Season the chicken generously all over. 2. Put the chicken in a roasting tin or large casserole that will hold it snugly. Scatter over the sage leaves. Drizzle over 3 tablespoons of oil and dot with the butter. Pour a little water into the base of the roasting dish (about 2cm deep) and roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the chicken and leave to rest for 15-20 minutes. Briefly fry some extra sage leaves in a little oil over a medium heat and grate a little lemon zest. Step 3 Skim off any excess fat from the roasting juices in the pan, add a few tablespoons of water and bring to a bubble, scraping up any sticky residue. Serve the carved chicken with the juices drizzled over, the fried sage leaves and lemon zest. Recipe by Annie Bell. Food Styling by Clare Lewis.
