Engagement Roast Chicken
All Set for Dinner!
Alright ladies, for those of you who have been waiting for that ring for quite some time now or are just itching to get engaged, I have just the thing for you: engagement chicken. Sounds crazy, right? I had absolutely no idea what the deal with engagement chicken was until Michelle filled me in last week. With today being National Proposal Day, I thought I’d give it a try for dinner tonight – thank you Food Network!
I actually did all my prep work and cooking last night to have dinner ready to eat once I came home. This recipe was super easy and a nice change from my usual grilled chicken. The original recipe calls for olive oil; however I replaced my recipe with coconut oil instead. This switch complimented the lemon, garlic and onion perfectly..yum. Let’s take a look at how to make this dinner to get you that ring!
Ingredients
1 roasting chicken
Sea salt, to taste
Ground pepper, to taste
2 lemons
1 head of garlic, cut in half
Coconut oil, melted
2 onions, peeled and thickly sliced
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Directions
Chicken
Sauce
To spice up this recipe, you could add pineapple or mango to the chicken. Both these fruits would complement the coconut oil, giving a unique sweetness to the roasted chicken. For those of you who make this recipe tonight, fingers crossed your engagement dreams will come true and maybe mine will, too! Since I made this whole dish yesterday, I plan on warming my sauce up over the stove top. The plus side of this dinner is that you’ll have a good amount of leftovers. Try making Lani’s Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon to serve with remaining chicken for a great second day meal option.
