Lavandas Fried Chicken Recipes

LAVENDER LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl or mortar and pestle coarsely crush lavender and thyme. Then stir together with butter, zest, salt and pepper until well combined.
• Spoon mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap and form into a 4-inch log. Chill butter log until firm, at least 30 minutes, and up to 3 days.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Rinse chicken and pat dry.
• Slice herb butter and reserve 2 tablespoons for sauce.
• Slide hand under skin of chicken breast to loosen skin from meat. Insert about 3/4's of the butter under the skin and spread the rest over the outside of chicken.
• Truss chicken. Place the chicken in a flameproof roasting pan.
• Slice the onion into large pieces and scatter around the chicken.
• Roast bird in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of a thigh (be careful not to touch bone) registers 170° to 175°F.
• It will take roughly 55-65 minutes for a four pound chicken and 8 minutes more per every pound over that.
• Lift chicken and tilt, emptying any juices from cavity into roasting pan.
• Remove the chicken to a platter, cover loosely with foil.
• Sauce: Add vermouth to pan. Place pan over high heat; bring vermouth to boil, scraping up any browned bits and onions.
• Strain the mixture into cup with pan juices.
• Spoon fat off and pour back into the pan. Add reserved 2 tablespoons herb butter and bring to a simmer - or melt butter before adding to pan.
• When butter has completely melted add flour and whisk until smooth.
• Serve sauce with chicken.
