Mayo Roasted Chicken Dish

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mayo Roasted Chicken Dish.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a rimmed baking sheet and set a roasting rack inside it—this will help the chicken cook evenly and get that delicious crispy skin we all love.

3. Step 3

   Next, take a moment to pat your chicken dry with some paper towels; this little step makes a big difference in achieving that perfect texture.

4. Step 4

   Now, let’s add some zesty flavor! Zest one teaspoon of lemon into a small bowl, then quarter the remaining lemon and stuff those juicy pieces into the chicken cavity along with some onion and garlic halves for an aromatic boost.

5. Step 5

   In the bowl with your lemon zest, mix together mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

6. Step 6

   Stir it all up until you have a smooth, flavorful marinade that’s just begging to be slathered on your chicken.

7. Step 7

   Generously rub this tasty mixture all over the chicken, making sure to sneak some under the skin over the breast for an extra punch of flavor.

8. Step 8

   Don’t forget to season the outside with a good sprinkle of salt and black pepper to enhance every bite.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to roast! Place your beautifully seasoned chicken in the preheated oven and let it work its magic for about 50 to 60 minutes.

10. Step 10

    You’ll know it’s done when the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink at the bone.

11. Step 11

    For the best results, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (74°C).

12. Step 12

    If you notice the chicken browning too quickly, simply tent it with some foil halfway through cooking to keep it from getting too dark.

13. Step 13

    Once your chicken is perfectly roasted, resist the urge to dive in right away! Let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow those juices to redistribute, ensuring every slice is juicy and flavorful.

14. Step 14

    Now you’re ready to carve and serve your delicious creation—enjoy every bite!.
