About the Recipe
Ingredients
Ingredients:
1 whole free-range chicken
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cinnamon stick
1 head of garlic (yes, the whole head)
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 bunch fresh sage
2 lemons (zest only)
Preparation
Step 1: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper, inside and out. In a dutch oven, add olive oil and brown the chicken evenly on all sides. Remove chicken and place on plate.
Step 2: Add cinnamon stick and whole garlic gloves to dutch oven and sizzle. Return chicken to pot and cover with milk. Add sage leaves and large strips of lemon zest.
Step 3: Place in oven and bake for 1-1.5 hours, basting occasionally. Check sauce levels and cover if liquid is getting too low.
Tips - this sauce can be reserved and used to poach greens or potatoes to give them a wonderful rich and citrusy flavor!
