This Cajun Lemon Chicken is oven roasted.
This beer can Cajun lemon chicken is brined, then roasted in the oven for a flavorful and juicy taste experience. The inspiration for this chicken all started with a Mother’s Day gift from my son: “Slap Ya Mama” Cajun Seasoning. Haha, my son has quite the sense of humor…and I love that about him, among many other amazing attributes. 🥰 It was the HOT blend, so I knew I needed to add a little balance in the flavor, so I decided to use my Nature’s Flavors Organic Lemon Flavor Syrup in the brine and also to mix with the olive oil to rub on before adding the dry seasoning. It adds the perfect “Yin” to the Cajun “Yang.” ☯

Instructions:
When removed, let rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing or serving. Why does chicken need to rest before slicing? After removing chicken from oven, it continues to cook during the resting period. It is critical that you do not slice or puncture chicken during this time to allow it to finish and seal all the juices and moisture in. Normally, for smaller chicken cuts, the resting period would be shorter, but this is a large whole chicken that needs to rest longer. If you are worried about it getting cold on the outer parts, place a loose piece of aluminum foil around chicken during the resting period.
