Ingredients:
- 2 whole fryer chickens
- 7 (2-inch) sprigs rosemary
- 4 tbsps butter
- salt, pepper and granulated garlic to taste
- paprika for color
- 1½ tsps olive oil
- 2 lemons
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup dry Marsala wine
Method:
Preheat oven to 450ºF. Remove giblets from chicken, rinse and
pat dry. Insert a rosemary sprig and 1 tablespoon butter between
the meat and skin of each breast half. Season chickens with salt,
pepper, granulated garlic and a small amount of paprika for color.
Rub oil on skin. Put a rosemary sprig and half of a lemon in each
bird's cavity. Roast chickens for 1 hour. Chicken is done when skin
is crisp, juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer reads
170ºF when inserted in the thickest part of the thigh. Transfer
chickens to a cutting board to rest. Remove leaves from remaining
rosemary sprig and coarsely chop. Grate rind from remaining lemon.
Pour liquid from roasting pan into a measuring cup or gravy separator.
Degrease liquid and reserve. Place roasting pan on two burners over
high heat. Add broth to pan and scrape up browned bits from bottom.
Cook about 1 minute, until broth is reduced by half. Add wine, chopped
rosemary and grated lemon rind. Cook 1-2 minutes to allow flavors
to blend. Add reserved pan juices and any accumulated juices form
resting chickens to rosemary-lemon mixture in roasting pan. Transfer
to a gravy boat. Carve chickens and serve with sauce.
