Ingredients:

1 chicken (5-6lb), wing tips removed
1 lemon, halved
4 whole garlic cloves
1 kosher salt
1 freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chicken broth, water, fruit juice o, r wine

Instructions:

Place oven rack on second level from bottom. Heat oven to 500
degrees F. Remve the fat from the tail and crop end of the chicken.
Discard the neck and giblets or freeze for making chicken stock
later. Reserve chicken livers for another use. Stuff the cavity of
the chicken with the lemon, garlic and butter(if using). Season the
cavity and skin with salt and pepper. Place chicken in a 12-by-8-by-1
1/2-inch roasting pan, breast side up. Put in oven legs first and
roast 50 -60 minutes, or until juices run clear. After the first 10
minutes, move the chicken with a wooden spatula to keep it from
sticking. Remove the chicken to a platter by placing a large wooden
spoon into the tail and balancing the chicken with a kitchen spoon
pressed against the crop end. As you lift the chicken, tilt it over
the roasting pan so that all the juices run out of the cavity and
into the pan. Pour off excess fat from the pan and put the pan on top
of the stove. Add the stock or other liquid and bring to a boil,
scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Let reduce by
half. Serve the sauce over the chicken or, for crisp skin, in a sauce
boat.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.

When chickens quit quarreling over their food they often find that there is enough for all of them. I wonder if it might not be the same with the human race.
