Roasted Garlic-Glazed Chicken With Lemon-Herb Sauce

"Recipe courtesy From Emeril's Kitchens, by Emeril Lagasse. Different way of preparing chicken and best part is that it's all done in 1 or 2 pans depending on how large of an oven proof skillet you have. The herbs and the garlic glaze are just heavenly to smell and devour. This was a huge hit in my home and even the kid enjoyed it. Prep time includes the 1 hour for roasting the garlic as this can be done ahead of time."

directions

  • For the Roasted Garlic Glaze:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Cut off the top third of each head of garlic.
  • Put them on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet, drizzle 2 tablespoons of the oil over the tops, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
  • Turn the garlic cut side down and roast until the cloves are soft and golden brown, about 1 hour.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • Into a food processor squeeze each head of garlic gently to release the flesh.
  • Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and puree on high speed.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 cup of oil in a slow, steady stream and process until the glaze is thick and smooth.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • (The glaze can be made up to 1 day in advance).
  • For the Chicken:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Separate the legs& thighs.
  • Season the chicken on both sides with the Essence.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in each of 2 large ovenproof skillets over medium-high heat.
  • Place the chicken pieces skin side down in the hot pans and sear for 6 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 sprigs of thyme to each pan, and place in the oven.
  • Roast for 16 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and carefully turn the chicken halves with tongs.
  • Brush the skin side of each chicken with the garlic glaze and roast skin side up until the skin is crisp, about 10 minutes longer.
  • For the Lemon Herb Sauce:

  • In a small saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a simmer.
  • Transfer to a blender or food processor.
  • Add the mustard and process on high speed.
  • With the motor running, add the lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs, and process until smooth.
  • Serve immediately.

  1. I am not sure about this. It was okay. I opted out of the lemon herb sauce, and I think I might have used too much garlic, which to me is like impossible, lol. I will make it again, and try it with the lemon herb sauce. It might lighten it up. So 3 stars for now. I think it was on my part though. All in all it was pretty good
