roasted chardonnay chicken – Food with Jackie O'

This is easy, elegant and delicious! It looks pretty, too.

Ingredients:

One whole chicken

1 lemon, sliced

6 or 7 shallots, chopped

2 teaspoons Tony Chachere’s seasoning

1/2 cup Chardonnay (brandy or any dry white wine will do)

2 tablespoons butter

Place chicken in a roasting dish, preheat oven to 350 degrees ( I like a more tender, juicier chicken, if you prefer a chewier meat and a little crispier, roast in a 400 degree oven).
Add seasoning all over chicken and underneath skin and let chicken rest in refrigerator for one hour
Place shallots all over the chicken
Place slices of lemon all over the chicken and some inside
Place the butter on top of chicken
Place breast up in the oven in roasting dish or baking dish
After 1 hour of roasting, add the wine
Bake for about 1.5-2 hours or until chicken is done. Temperature should be 165 degrees.
