Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Pat chicken dry. Cut lemon in half; squeeze juice over chicken. Place lemon in cavity. Rub garlic over chicken; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Place chicken on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until a thermometer inserted in thigh reads 180°, basting occasionally with pan juices and adding carrots and onion during the last hour. Cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly.
  3. Remove chicken from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before carving.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice, lemon peel and food coloring if desired.
  5. Serve sauce with chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with green onion. Yield: 6 servings.
