Love, lemons and engagement chicken

Well, I have been putting this off. I always thought the 1st post should be special. But here I am and I thought I'd better get to it.

So I'm not sure if anyone else has heard of "Engagement chicken". No, it's not a chicken that proposes to your woman for you. Quite the contrary. Legend goes that if you make this for your man he will propose, and apparently there are quite a few women who swear by it. I wasn't entirely convinced so I decided to try it out. My significant other loved it and instantly proposed..... for the second time. I don't think that counts, since he was going to marry me anyway.
But, just for kicks, here's the recipe!

Engagement chicken

You will need:
1 medium chicken
1 or 2 lemons
1 tbs lemon juice
1tsp crushed garlic
handful of salt
1l cold water
50g of butter (margarine won't do)
herbs (rosemary or mixed herbs)
salt
pepper
AN OVEN

How to do it:
1. Wash your chicken.
2. Put the salt in a bowl of cold water and put the chicken in it. Leave in fridge for 30min. (this is called brining).
3. Preheat oven to 180 C. Remove your cold chicken and pat dry with paper towel.
4. Rub butter, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper all over the chicken, inside and out and remember under the skin!
5. Bash a lemon till soft and make some slits into it. Place this inside the chicken. If the chicken is big, use both lemons.
6. Rub a little lemon juice on the outside.
7. Bake uncovered for 1 hour, turning halfway.
8. Allow to rest for 10 min before serving. Use this time to look good. It is engagement chicken after all!
