How To Make my favorite lemon-garlic sauce for roasted chicken

Step 1

Heat oil in a saucepan and add garlic cloves and lemon peel. Saute over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until garlic just starts to brown in a few spots.

Step 2

Add broth, water and herbs; simmer to reduce by about half. Discard herb sprigs and lemon peel.
Step 3

Transfer broth mixture to a blender; process until smooth. Return garlic puree to the saucepan and whisk in butter over very low heat until smooth. Sauce can be re-warmed before serving.
