Engagement Chicken
Engagement Chicken is a classic recipe that’s said to bring good luck in relationships. It’s believed that preparing and serving this dish for your partner will lead to a proposal or a deeper commitment. The recipe typically involves roasting a whole chicken with lemon and herbs, resulting in a delicious and flavorful dish.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (approximately 4 pounds)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Rinse the chicken inside and out, then pat it dry with paper towels.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the chicken, including the cavity.
- Cut one of the lemons in half and squeeze the juice over the chicken, ensuring the entire surface is coated. Keep the squeezed lemon halves for later.
