Lemon chicken & american pancakes

Days are getting more and more colder,and with the winter behind the door we need to cheer up our minds
with some fine food again :)) This time it comes to my favorite Lemon chicken and as a dessert- fluffy american pancakes.Both very simple,tasty and addictive dishes :D

For the chicken,you will need :
* 1 whole chicken
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 1 medium lemon
* 10 garlic cloves
* salt
* black pepper
* 3 tsp rosemary
* 2 tsp thyme


   1. Preheat the oven to 200 dgr

2. Place chicken in a baking pan,season generously inside and out with salt and pepper.Shred lemon zest on     the top,add 4 pressed garlic cloves,thyme and rosemary-drizzle the oil and rub all over the skin.

3. Cut lemon in 4,put it inside the cavity with unpeeled garlic cloves and place the chicken breasts-side up
    in a large baking pan.Roast the chicken in the oven for 1 hour(200 dgr.) on the top,give it 10-15 minutes
    under the grill to achieve golden crispy skin.

4. Remove from the oven and place on a cutting board.Let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving.

* Variant for chicken leg-lovers,when preparation is the same,only you place lemons and garlic 

   cloves around and between chicken legs.And its not necessary to roast it for whole hour

 Modified american pancakes

Ingredients:

* 1/2 liter of milk
* 2 medium eggs
* 300 gr. all purpose flour
* 2 tbsp butter-melted
* 1 tbsp sugar
* 2 tsp baking powder
* salt

1. Whisk milk and eggs in a large bowl,add cool melted butter.Mix flour,baking powder,sugar and salt in a
    medium bowl and little by little add to a milk-mixture beating constantly-you should get a smooth batter.
    Let it rest for a few minutes.

2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over the medium heat,and add a ladle of batter,repeat until there is no space
    on a pan anymore.You won´t need an oil,because there is butter inside the batter ;) Wait until top of the
    pancake begins to bubble-just like in the picture below.then turn it over and wait until both sides are  
    golden brown and the pancake has risen about 1 cm thick

3. Then turn it over and wait until both sides are golden brown and the pancake has risen about 1 cm thick.

    repeat,until all batter is used up.

    

    Ta-daa,we ´ve got like 1 kilo of pancakes,cos i was using double batter :D :D You never know,when you

    get there is need for a pancake,so I ´ve put the rest in a freezer.For some lonely desperate moments haha

   

   

    And voila-serve pancakes with fresh or sterilized fruits,whipped cream and maybe some toppings ;)
