What could be better than how your mouth starts to water when you think of eating chicken that is drenching in a lemon, garlic, ginger, butter sauce.  You would think that I had not eaten in a long while but as I write this I did eat recently but yet the thoughts of those delectable flavors makes me salivate.   I hope you and your family enjoy this dish as much as we do!

Watch the video to see how to make this delicious Lemon Garlic Ginger Roasted Chicken.

Mouthwatering Lemon Garlic Ginger Roasted Chicken

Isn’t this a beautiful chicken?  It is completely free of growth hormones and antibiotics.  Sometimes I am able to get chickens that do not have added antibiotics and growth hormones if my store has them.  When the store has the healthier option then I’m willing to pay a little more to know that my family is not consuming a chicken that is filled with antibiotics and growth hormones.  How about you?

Saute ginger, smashed garlic in butter and olive oil, add lemon to make your sauce.  Then take this mixture and spread over the prepared chicken, inside and out.  Salt and pepper the chicken and bake in the oven until a meat thermometer registers 155 degrees F.  Let the meat rest for 10 minutes and the juices will be absorbed into the meat.   (Here’s what happens–the chicken continues to cook as it rests.  The temperature will go up about 10 degrees while resting.  The resting period allows the meat to come up to the right temperature of 165 degrees F. and allows the juices to be absorbed back into the chicken.  This will give you a very moist chicken)

This chicken is very good served with golden potatoes and asparagus but would also be delicious with rice or pasta.  The sides will absorb the flavors from the lemon garlic ginger sauce.

    I love roast chicken and make a similar one about once a month – can’t go wrong with lemon and garlic, it’s my fave base for any roast chicken. Yum! Love that it’s asparagus season too – so perfect to go along with the chicken. This looks yummy!

    This sauce literally has me drooling. And your combo of golden potatoes and asparagus is a match made in heaven! We do whole chickens for our Sunday dinner every week, but tend to stick to the same flavors. Can’t wait to try this!

    Such simple flavors and easy recipe. It’s often the simple things that taste the best, right?! I’m thinking this goes best with a rice pilaf … but I sure wouldn’t turn down the potatoes and asparagus!

    Chicken drenching in any kind of sauce sounds delicious to me. Something like naan bread to soak up that flavourful sauce would be great too. Potatoes are great…since I am a potato lover,

    I’m with you when it comes to picking out chickens especially when they are so huge they look like turkeys. Try finding a 3 pound chicken in the meat case. It is a real challenge. All the flavors you have going on are just the flavors we like in our roast chicken. Good recipe.

    I’m not much of a cook but I love chicken and also garlic and ginger, potatoes too, so this seems just the meal for me to try. However, I don’t know what temperature I need to set the oven on and I haven’t got a meat thermometer. Could you please tell me the correct temperature? Thanks.

      Sorry I missed your request for temperature. I would bake at 350 degrees F.

      Here’s what happens—the chicken continues to cook as it rests. This resting period allows the meat to come up to the right temperature 165 degrees F and gives the juices that have been pulled into the center of the bird while it was in the oven time to redistribute to the surface of the meat.

    This is so simple and yet delivers so much flavor. I didn’t measure the garlic or lemon juice and it still came out well. I so seldom cook chicken on the stove top that this was a lovely treat. Thank you. Violet
