LISA: Hi I’m Chef Lisa Fontanesi, and I’m here on Home Made Simple on OWN. And we are going to be making a simple, and easy and delicious Two Lemon Chicken. We’re literally using a chicken, some salt, pepper, two lemons, and some olive oil. SOLEIL: That’s it?! LISA: That’s it! SOLEIL: Wow. LISA: So you are going to pierce the lemon because it’s going to infuse the flavor. Michael, I want you to take our sea salt here and you’re just going to crush up the salt. It’s sea salt. So yeah just regular sea salt, but it comes coarse and you’re just going to grind it up. MICHAEL: Ok. LISA: So now we’re all going to grab a little bit of salt and start rubbing the chickens. SOLEIL: Can you also sprinkle it? LISA: You can just sprinkle it. Put it inside the chicken as well. SOLEIL: Where do the lemons go? LISA: They’re going to go inside the chicken. And in they go. MICHAEL: You’re putting the whole lemon in? LISA: The whole lemons in and they’re going to cook down and release the flavors. And then you just pull it out at the end. Would you like to put a few skewers in? You want to? MICHAEL: Ok. LISA: You gotta be careful. Our last step is grabbing the olive oil. That’s good on that side, we’ll rub that and then we’ll put a little more. And we’re using really good olive oil. We’re using good fats. The skin—we’re going to cook the chicken breast side down so that all the fat from the chicken absorbs in there, and we have a nice moist chicken. Ok Soleil, would you open our preheated 350-degree oven? SOLEIL: Yes. LISA: I’m going to put the chicken in in the top third of the oven. Close it up and we’re going to cook the chicken for an hour and a half. But at the thirty-minute mark we’re going to open it up and we’re going to take some baby carrots and some baby potatoes and just pour it around the chicken. And we’re going to let it continue cooking. Beautiful! MICHAEL: Ooh wow! SOLEIL: Wow! LISA: So see? MICHAEL: Wow looks delicious. LISA: Are you guys up for trying a little of this? GROUP: Yes. GIRL: This is so so good! SOLEIL: Delicious. Amazing! GIRL: The carrots are so so good. SOLEIL: Wow!
