Description

This lemon and thyme roast chicken is a true triumph of Mediterranean flavors! The meat, tender and juicy, perfectly matches the intense scent of lemon and fresh thyme. Preparing it is easier than you think, thanks to our trusty Thermomix®. I often prepare it for Sunday lunch, accompanied by baked potatoes or grilled vegetables. A tip? Use organic lemons for the zest, the result will be even more aromatic. Perfect for a family dinner or a festive lunch, this chicken will win everyone over with its simplicity and irresistible taste. Preparation takes about 80 minutes, but the result amply repays the wait!

Preparation (5 steps)

Preparation of the flavored butter

Thermomix® Setting

20 Sec./Speed 3

100g butter in pieces, the grated zest of one lemon in a bowl. Mix well to combine the ingredients. Transfer the mixture to the Thermomix bowl.

Chicken stuffing

Salt the inside of the chicken. Divide a candied lemon into two pieces. Insert the first half of the lemon inside the chicken, add a sprig of fresh thyme and then the other half of the lemon.

External seasoning of the chicken

Spread the lemon flavored butter externally on the chicken, massaging the skin well. Salt externally.

Baking in the oven

Transfer the stuffed and seasoned chicken to a baking tray with a grill. Cook in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 50 minutes.

Take the chicken out of the oven. If desired, grease the surface of the chicken once again with the remaining butter. Transfer the lemon and thyme roast chicken to a serving dish and serve with a side dish of your choice.
