Comment préparer Lemon Chicken With Croutons

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove giblets from 1 (3-4 lb) whole chicken and rinse thoroughly inside and out.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
Remove excess fat and pinfeathers.
In a small roasting pan, toss 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Place chicken on top of onions. Season generously with salt and pepper inside the cavity.
Place 2 lemons, halved, inside the chicken cavity.
Brush the outside of the chicken with 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper.
Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wings behind the back.
Roast for 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and thigh.
Remove from oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
While chicken rests, prepare croutons: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 4 cups cubed day-old bread (about ½ inch cubes).
Sauté, tossing frequently, until golden brown and crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Add more olive oil as needed.
Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
Arrange croutons on a serving platter.
Carve the chicken and arrange slices over the croutons, spooning pan juices generously over the top.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley (optional) and serve warm.
