1whole chicken (or parts of you prefer)
2 lemons
4 Rosemary branches
Salt
Pepper
Fresh Garlic
EVOO
Brine Instructions:
Put chicken in a large pot
Fill pot with water to fully cover chicken
Cut squeeze and place one lemon in pot
Add two chopped Rosemary twigs
Add two tablespoons of olive oil
Add 1/2 cup of salt
I know that a 1/2 cup of salt sounds alike a lot but the brining process requires a high salt content to help break down the meat fibers and allow for the meat to soak in more flavor.
Cover the pot with cling wrap and let sit in the fridge for 24hrs.
Cooking Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350
Remove chicken from brine and place in a roasting tray
Add 2-3 chopped garlic cloves
Pepper the chicken lightly
Chop and add 2 Rosemary twiggs
Lightly drizzle EVOO on chicken
Add lemon juice from 2nd lemon
Cover roasting pan with parchment paper and aluminum foil and cook for an hour and thirty minutes.
And it's ready to enjoy.
