Roasted Lemon Herb Garlic Chicken Recipe
How many of you have heard of Limoneira before? I had never heard of this company until recently. Limoneira is based out of Ventura County, California and have been in business since 1893. Their pioneer business owners helped lay the foundation for a thriving California citrus industry.

A few weeks ago I was sent a beautiful gift box with 8 fresh lemons inside. I love lemons and cook with them often. On top of that, I’m a huge fresh lemonade drinker too! I was asked to make a few recipes using the lemons from Limoneira and today, I’m sharing with you the roasted chicken that I made 2 weeks ago. It’s really easy to prepare and tastes delicious!

Place whole chicken into a roasting pan, breast side up. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken and pour some of it into the cavity of the chicken. Toss half of your lemon slices into the cavity.
Slice the new red potatoes in half and place the halves around the chicken in the roasting pan. Toss the remaining lemon slices on top and around the potatoes. Pour the lemon juice and water mixture on top of chicken and potatoes.
Cover the roasting pan and place into a preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 2 hours. During the last 15-20 minutes of baking time, remove the lid from the roasting pan and place back into the oven until skin is golden brown. Remove and let stand in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.
