Lemon Herb and Pepper Chicken Glaze

Ingredients:

• 1 lemon
• 0.5 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 0.5 cup lemon curd
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 0.5 cup chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

1. Zest the lemon, then cut it in half and separate into wedges, discarding the membranes. Squeeze the remaining membrane into a small bowl to extract the juice.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the onion, chili flakes, garlic, a pinch of salt, and a generous grind of coarsely ground black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, 5-8 minutes. Add the garlic, reduce the heat, and stir the garlic into the onion until softened and fragrant.
3. Add the lemon zest and juice, lemon curd, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and thyme to the saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring, until the sauce thickens, another 3-5 minutes. Gently stir in the parsley and lemon wedges. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Set aside 1/4 cup of the glaze to brush over the whole chicken while grilling. Drizzle the remaining glaze over the finished chicken when serving.
