THE BEST LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN | SAM THE COOKING GUY

[@dylanmcgregor6496]

[@jonferrara6813]

Nice recipe Sam! The Family LOVED IT! I added a slight twist by cutting a garlic clove in half and adding them to either side of the chickn face down. After chicken cooked I squeezed the roasted garlic paste into the pan added some flour and a cup of chicken broth to create a nice sauce for the chicken. Thanks for continuing to deliver great recipes combined with humor. Cheers!

for fathers day you should swap roles, and let him film while the camera crew and plucky comic relief do the cooking ;-)

After you salt the bird, let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours to dry out the skin. Best crispy skin after roasting. Dry brining is awesome!!

My wife and I do potato balls, but we use bacon as well and stuff them with cheddar!

[@johnclamshellsp1969]

This is a holy grail of a chicken dish. My added mods. 1. Large stuffing mushrooms. 2. Used two shots of brandy instead of wine. 3. Four (4) large cloves garlic. 4. Skipped Chinese sauce. 5. One small minced scallion

A tip for this recipe, if you can't find soy paste it's easy to make! I used a half cup soy sauce, and a teaspoon of cornstarch and water. Mix cornstarch and water and add it to the soy sauce then render it down to thickness. Worked like a charm!

[@Meh...171]

Thank you!!! I found some but it was 20 bucks...you are awesome for sharing this!

So, I tried this myself, and the chicken was good ( I generally like lemon garlic chicken). I did the potatoes the same way with some instant garlic mashed mix and the corn flakes crumbs, and they really were busting! Great flavor! And that's what it's all about.... the flavor!

5 stars, amazing chicken! We made it with shiitake mushrooms and asparagus with olive oil salt/pepper parsley instead of the deep-fried mashed potatoes but it was phenomenal. We couldn't find soy paste in Kitchener, so we used soy sauce which still worked out. So good. Thank you Sam and crew. This and your panini from last year is a family favorite.

[@qangelthinkin7495]

I like to get my butter mix and other seasonings under the skin directly on the meat!! Yum yummy!

[@cecygarcia8352]

Made this for dinner and it was a hit! Truly the most delicious and juicy chicken I’ve ever made. This will be a staple for our family for sure! Also, I didn’t have the soy paste this time but I improvised and used soy sauce (eye balled it) and it was fine! Still getting the soy paste for next time though!! 😎

[@davidbarnes7617]

Made this tonight, and also used the roasted garlic that I made for the first time (because I didn't have one of those super-cool garlic presses). It's in the oven now in my 12" cast-iron-but-not-STCG-but-still-works-great pan. Can't wait to try it!

[@kristieparker6307]

Thanks for the tater "ball" idea. Made mine with left over hot sausage, jalapeno cooked in bacon grease, and parm cheese...They were a hit!!

[@sallen0820]

I made the chicken portion of this last Saturday since the rain kept us from grilling. This turned out amazing. The lemon really made the flavor "pop". My wife and kids loved it, this was awesome the next day as a leftover too. Thanks for another great recipe.

[@johnregan3732]

OMG! I just made this chicken! It was great! Thanks Sam. Only issue is I don’t want to throw out the juice left in the pan.

[@BuddyHolly-lmao]

For anyone not looking to use soy, try adding some shiitake mushrooms in the roast or change the butter sauce to use anchovies, take some salt out of the mix. Both add umami without the soy!

[@JP-lz3vk]

I like the spatchcocked chicken and I never saw how to do it before, so I'm going to try it next Sunday. The lemon garlic herb sauce looks amazing.

[@Berkana]

11:42 Sam, there's a better way to do the spatchcocking part where you flatten the chicken: • first, remove the wishbone. • second, use a knife to cut the membrane behind the keel bone, then as you open up the chicken, you'll see the bone exposed. It is going to have a dark red color. Grip that and rip the whole thing clean off the chicken. It gets in the way of carving the chicken anyway, so it's a good idea to remove it if you want the chicken to be flat.

[@melodylorenzo1340]

Made this today and it was life changing. Love love it!!! Never ever gonna make it any other way. Thank you!!!

[@litesaberkunai789]

I made this, got the butter underneath the skin, used a thickened teriyaki sauce instead of soy sauce, used a rosemary garlic and sea salt seasoning cause i didnt have rosemary. It came out as the most crisp chicken ive ever made in the oven not as crispy as pan fried chicken but up there.

[@PleasantRanch]

I happened to have ALL the ingredients for this in house this evening. Whole chicken wings instead of a whole bird, but it’s all in the oven and looking/smelling amazing right now! Can’t wait to see those Jerry Rolls in an upcoming episode. Jerry rolls, man.

[@yunengdahl3675]

How did it turn out with the wings? Wondering if it'll work with cut up chicken, too

@@yunengdahl3675 worked out great! This seems to be a proven flavor profile! I coated the chicken parts in the butter mixture, layer them on top of some lemon slices, added some wine and boom.

Sam, absolutely love the look of the new cast iron pan. Still waiting for the link to order my own.

[@rickysandhu3916]

Just made two of these for dinner last night. All the guests loved it. I did make a rookie mistake of adding a teaspoon of Soy sauce rather than paste, as I didn't have the latter on hand, only to realize soon after that butter and liquids don't mix! It's like trying to combine oil and water. So the marinade didn't go on the chickens as well as I wanted it to but they were still juicy, delicious and flavorful. Thanks STCG!

[@SpideySensei72]

I'm trying this today with chicken thighs instead of the whole chicken since it's for meal prep and needs to last several days. Hopefully in one hour it'll be a JUICE FEST! JUICE FEST! JUICE FEST!

I gotta say it. When you cut lemons and cut through the pits, you're adding bitterness because when pits are cut they are bitter. It takes time, but it's best to cut the lemon and remove the pits as you go.

That's a very creative spatchcock method. All you need to do when the backbone has been removed is look for a triangular piece of cartilage where the breastbone begins and make about a quarter inch cut through it. That will released both breasts allowing the chicken to lay flat without the need to perform chest compressions that will potentially splatter chicken liquid around your cooking area.
