Ingredients
Directions
- Let the chicken sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425˚. Remove 4 strips zest from the lemon with a vegetable peeler. Cut the lemon in half and set aside. Toss the sliced fennel, garlic, onion and lemon zest with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a roasting pan; set a rack on top. Place the chicken breast-side up on the rack. Squeeze 1/2 lemon over the chicken, then rub with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; season inside and out with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then place the squeezed lemon half and fennel tops (breaking to fit) in the cavity. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
- Transfer the chicken to the oven and roast 45 minutes. Mix the broth and vermouth in a measuring cup. Spoon a few tablespoons over the chicken and into the pan. Continue roasting, basting every 15 minutes with the broth mixture, until the juices run clear and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (not touching the bone) registers 165˚, 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes (halfway through, tip the cavity juices into the pan). You should have about 1/2 cup of the broth mixture left.
- Let the chicken rest 10 minutes in the pan. Tip the cavity juices into the pan again, then transfer the chicken to a cutting board; let rest 30 minutes. Meanwhile, remove the rack from the pan and pour in any remaining broth mixture, scraping up any browned bits; gently smash the vegetables. Pour the broth and vegetables into a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium saucepan; press to release the juices (discard the solids).
- Bring the juices to a simmer over medium heat; season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, add the butter and swirl to melt. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice from the remaining 1/2 lemon. Carve the chicken and serve with the gravy.
