Engagement Chicken

I had planned to make this dish when I was getting antsy about Jon popping the question after I read about how many girls made this dish then got engaged shortly thereafter. Make a chicken and get engaged? Sure, why not! (But it turns out I didn't make it and still got proposed to.) I am not one to pass up a good recipe, so I made this Ina Garten version of Engagement Roast Chicken this weekend.

Assemble all your ingredients.

The lil bird. We got a 4.5 pounder. Perfect for two people who want leftovers. 

Stuff it with lemons and garlic and rub it down with olive oil, salt and pepper. 

Surround it with a mixture of lemons, onions, olive oil, salt and pepper. 

Such simple common ingredients are all you need.  

Pop it in the oven for over an hour and you have.....

Engagement Chicken! The recipe also includes making a sauce with the pan drippings to pour over the chicken and it was so good I could have married it. 

Wait, what?
