Million Dollar Chicken

Being a retired grandma gives me time to explore cooking more deeply but have always enjoyed cooking for my family. Lately I have learned the art of baking Sourdough bread. It’s so good and healthier than any you can buy. My starter is now over a year old. I continue to search for ways to improve my bread, so tips are always welcome!

1 (4.5 pound) whole chicken

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 lemon, halved

1 bunch fresh thyme

3 cloves garlic, peeled (Optional)

1 bay leaf

3 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

3 thick slices day-old sourdough French bread

1 cup creme fraiche

1 tablespoon peeled and grated shallot

1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper

2 tablespoons lemon juice, or to taste

1 teaspoon lemon zest

3 chive blossoms for garnish, chopped (Optional)
