Directions

  1. 1
    ["Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.", "Place chicken in a large roasting pan, without overlapping. Loosen the chicken skin with your fingers, without completely separating the skin from the chicken, creating an air pocket between the meat and skin.", "Create the stuffing:\r\nIn a separate bowl, mix the olives, lemon zest, lemon slices, roasted peppers, garlic, olive oil, rosemary, and apricot preserves. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and stir. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if needed. Add red pepper flakes to taste.\r\n\r\nDivide the stuffing mixture into 6 parts and stuff under the chicken skin, covering as much surface area of the meat as possible. Rub any remaining mixture over the top of the chicken.", "Sprinkle the top of each chicken leg with sea salt.", "Roast in the oven for 45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken thigh. Allow to rest for 10 minutes -- the chicken will come up to 165 degrees.", "Chef's Notes:\r\nServe with couscous and honey glazed carrots with local orange blossom honey.\r\n\r\nThis recipe is also great with chicken wings and drummettes. Chop ingredients slightly smaller, about 1/4\" pieces
