Lemon Chicken With Croutons

Time: 1 hrs 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 (4 lb) roasting chickens
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 lemons, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 6 cups bread cubes, 3/4 inch (1 baguette or round boule)

  • 8 Roast for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh.
