We went to see The Five Year Engagement on Friday night... I love a good movie date night!
On Saturday we had a belated birthday celebration for Alex-- his gift back in March was two tickets to see the White Sox (his team) play the Red Sox (my team) here in Chicago. The forecast looked ominous, but the evening turned out to be near perfect (albeit a little chilly). Also-- much to my surprise-- I apparently purchased "really awesome" seats. Wife points for me. Happy belated birthday, Alex-- and go Red Sox!
P.S. The Red Sox won. :)
We finished the weekend with a lazier Sunday-- I ran some errands, Alex had his first soccer game of the season, and we finished off the weekend with a Sunday dinner of Roasted Chicken. I don't usually get fancy for Sunday evenings, but we had a chicken in the freezer (they were BOGO when I picked up our Easter chicken), so it was actually a pretty cheap and delicious dinner. I've included my recipe below.
Sunday Roast Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken
- 2 lemons
- 7 cloves garlic
- 2 Tbs. butter (at room temperature)
- 3 Tbs. fresh herbs, finely chopped and divided *I used rosemary, sage, parsley, and thyme
- 1 tsp. black pepper, divided
- 1 tsp. kosher salt, divided
- 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, remove the insides of the chicken, rinse and pat dry with paper towels, and set aside.
Wash and zest one of the lemons. Mince 3 garlic cloves. In a small bowl combine lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, 2 Tbs. herbs, 3/4 tsp. black pepper, 3/4 tsp. salt to form a paste. Loosen the chicken skin with your fingers and rub about half of the paste evenly under the skin. Rub the remaining paste all over the outside of the chicken.
While the chicken begins to roast, combine the juice of the remaining 2 lemon quarters, 1/4 white wine, and olive oil. Add to that mixture the remaining 1 Tbs. herbs, 1/4 tsp. black pepper, 1/4 tsp. salt, and garlic clove (minced). Use this mixture to baste the chicken every 15-20 minutes.
Once the chicken is fully cooked remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Then carve and enjoy. I served ours with green beans and roasted potatoes.
