Description
I’m usually not a fan of chicken, but this honey lemon chicken from Elana Amsterdam is flavorful and moist, simply all around delicious and paleo of course!
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, 2 to 3 pounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 3 lemons
- 2 medium onions
- 1 head garlic
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Place the chicken, breast side down, in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
- Drizzle the chicken with the olive oil and honey, sprinkle with the salt, and stuff with 1 of the whole lemons.
- Cut the remaining 2 lemons in half and place in the corners of the baking dish.
- Cut the onions in half (leaving the skin on) and place alongside the lemon halves.
- Break the head of garlic apart (leaving the skin on) and scatter the cloves around the baking dish.
- Bake the chicken for 50 to 60 minutes, until the skin is well browned.
- Increase the heat to 450°F, turn the chicken breast side up, and bake for about 15 more minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh reads 170°F to 180°F.
- Remove the chicken from the oven. Carve the chicken, drizzle with the pan juices, and serve.
- Enjoy!
