What is your favorite roasted chicken recipe or method?

I use Hazan’s Two Lemon Chicken recipe, too, and it works really well for me. I skip the “increase temp to 400 degrees for 20 minutes” part and it still works.
Just 2 small lemons and freshly crushed black pepper.
I forgot to take the photo until after i taste tested a leg.

I always quarter my 2 lemons … you better not dare tell the late Marcella Hazan!

I started cooking my small Butterball turkeys the same way … good move!

The new family favourite is Cornish hen smoked on the Traeger. The birds get rubbed with salt and pepper and set on the smoker at 215f for about 1 hour 45 minutes. They’re very juicy with just enough smoke to give them some extra flavour without being harsh. It’s the most hands off cooked bird I’ve ever made and the results are excellent. We smoked two hens yesterday and had them on homemade buns with bbq sauce today for dinner.

Nice! I love Cornish game hen. It’s like your own personal chicken :slight_smile:

I bet it’s delicious smoked.
