Ingredients:
•1 whole chicken (approximately 4 pounds)
•1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, plus 3 whole lemons—including 1 sliced for garnish
•1 tablespoon kosher or coarse sea salt
•1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
•Fresh herbs for garnish (4 rosemary sprigs, 4 sage sprigs, 8 thyme sprigs, and 1 bunch fl at-leaf parsley)
1. Position an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the giblets from the chicken, wash the chicken inside and out with cold water, then let the chicken drain, cavity down, in a colander for 2 minutes.
2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place the chicken breast-side down in a medium roasting pan fi tted with a rack and pour the lemon juice all over the chicken, both inside and out. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper inside and out.
3. Prick 2 whole lemons three times each in three different places with a fork and place them deep inside the cavity. Chicken cavity size may vary, so if one lemon is partly sticking out, that’s fine. (Tip: If the lemons are stiff, roll them on the countertop with your palm before pricking to get the juices flowing.)
4. Put the chicken in the oven, lower the oven temperature to 350°F, and roast, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
5. Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Using tongs or two wooden spoons, turn the chicken breast- side up. Insert a meat thermometer in the thigh, and return the chicken to the oven and roast for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the meat thermometer reads 180°F and the juices run clear when the thigh is pricked with a fork. Continue roasting if necessary. Keep in mind that cooking times in different ovens vary; roasting a chicken at 350°F takes approximately 18-20 minutes per pound, plus an additional 15 minutes.
6. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. And here’s the secret: Pour the juices from the roasting pan on top of the sliced chicken. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon slices.
My husband votes for fettuccine alfredo. I can always make him happy by serving up creamy pasta.
Pasta. It's light and gives you energy. Footballers eat it before a match to keep them going. Maybe skip the garlic bread if it's a date.
How about salmon and wine? It's fancy and out of the ordinary for most people.Or you could grill half a bushel of oysters and pick up a case of good beer. My boyfriend and I did that recently and it was great.. Total relationship catharsis. But it's funner if both of you grill them together.
I don't know your take on seafood, but I think it makes great date food :)
Me too actually, but you'd be amazed how weird people are. I love salmon and I love food that's been smoked, so I really like smoked salmon. But I had it once on a date and the date got a bit weird, saying it wasn't in fashion any more.
If I like the taste of something, why should I not eat it because someone who has unilaterally decided it's unfashionable says it's unfashionable? I realised that she thought she needed their permission on what she should eat, and the date was effectively ruined.
I also realised that I wanted to find the person who was telling people to judge me based on what I eat and stamp on his balls. Then perhaps tell him that stamped balls are so yesterday, and that he should smoke them instead.
I love pasta and it's really one of the only things I eat when I go to restaurants. You could even mix it up and make Chicken Parmesan with some spaghetti.
Look on some recipe websites and browse for something that sounds good.
