easy Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken

When it comes to cooking poultry I always seem to have issues. Come Thanksgiving time my turkeys always end up cooking too fast or too slow. It never fails.

They always taste delicious once done but the process is always a headache. I never know if I am sticking the thermometers in the right spot. Yes, thermometers plural. I try a few just make sure I'm not screwing up. Are they touching a bone? In an air pocket? Who knows!

For YEARS, I've wanted a thermometer that could go in the oven and I finally have one. I'm SO excited. I just tested this bad boy out yesterday on my Easy Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken recipe.

Riesto Digital Meat Thermometer and Timer for lemon herb chicken

Although my husband would love a turkey right now (it's his favorite holiday) I decided to test out my Riesto Digital Meat Thermometer and Timer on a chicken instead. I figure it's good practice before the big turkey hoopla in November.

This Riesto thermometer was super simple to use. It came with two heat-resistant probes (up to 482 degrees F). I stuck one of them into the thigh of my lemon herb chicken and watched the temperature rise with delight. It comes with preset temperatures depending on meat type that you can adjust up or down to your liking. For chicken, it recommended 174 degrees F. Once the food reaches your desired temperature it will beep letting you know dinner is ready. How cool is that!

You can use this device as a timer as well. I love products that can do double duty! There is a switch on the back to change it from thermometer to timer. Super easy! I can't wait for Thanksgiving now.

This Lemon Herb Chicken was perfectly moist and the skin is to die for. I am a skin and dark meat kind of girl. It tastes SO good that I am glad my husband is the complete opposite!

What is your favorite way to eat chicken?
