Slow Roasted Lemon Pepper Whole Chicken

Slow Roasted Lemon Pepper Chicken is an easy way to roast chicken. You can go off and do something else for a couple of hours and when you come back you have succulent chicken with crisp skin and the meat falling off the bone.

Lemon Pepper Slow Roasted Chicken

 

 

Before roasting rub the chicken with lemon pepper seasoning. If you don’t have any, then use freshly ground black pepper and a little lemon zest to give a similar flavour.

 What makes the Slow Roasted Lemon Pepper Chicken so succulent is the ‘bath’ of water, onions and carrots, which gently steams the chicken from below.  At the same time, he heat from the oven toasts the skin till it’s crisp.

Serving Suggestion

Serve the Slow Roasted Lemon Pepper Chicken with mashed potatoes. I like to mash my potatoes with a generous knob of butter and a splash of milk.

Spring cabbage is delicious and seasonal to serve with the chicken, but any green vegetable will complement this meal. 

Don’t forget the Gravy

Make gravy with the juices from the roasting tin, capture all the flavour and the lovely lemon pepper flavour. 

Lifting the lif on Slow Roasted Chicken I use an old enamelled lidded roaster which belonged to my mother-in-law. If you don’t have one, then simply make a tent of aluminium foil over a roasting tin to capture the steam. 

 

Leftover Slow Roasted Lemon Pepper Chicken 

Roast Chicken is a family favourite, it’s easy to make and, there are always leftovers to use for a second meal like this Leftover Turkey and Leek Pasta Bake or a Leftover Club Sub Sandwich. Both of these recipes were developed for leftover turkey but they work just as well with leftover chicken.

This Slow Roasted Chicken is my entry for the Slow Cooked Challenge, the blogging challenge I run with Lucy from Baking Queen 74.  

Lucy is hosting this month and has chosen the theme of ‘Spring’. I think this dish is perfect for spring, stick it in the oven and get outside into the garden for a couple of hours. Your warming dinner will be cooking away while you work and ready for you coming in.

    Shocking that this is not a slow cooker recipe! 😉 Only joking, this sounds so good! I have never done a chicken this way but it sounds ideal for when you are gardening or something like that. I must try it in one of my cast iron dishes. Thanks for your lovely #SlowCookedChallenge entry! 🙂

      I know, I wanted a crispy skin and the slow cooker was being used for something else anyway!

    this just looks immense! I adore a slow-cooked chicken like this… love that it all cooks together. Do you have a chicken brick? I’ve always wanted one.

      Thanks Dom, definitely our kind of food! I had several chicken bricks in the 1990s but they all cracked despite proper soaking, so I gave up!

    I love food you can shove in the oven and relax with a cup of tea afterwards! I don’t buy while chickens nearly enough but love the sound of this, would be great for leftovers too! x

      Thanks Lisa, whole chicken is so much better value than portioned, I often buy it and portion it myself.

    Fab recipe Janice! I made something similar at the weekend but with wild garlic pesto. Even used my Mums enameled lidded roaster!
