Whole Braised Chicken in Milk

This unconventional recipe from Jamie Oliver took a whole chicken and braised it in milk with a handful of aromatics. The milk would split and separate during the cooking process into a super-flavorful sauce, and it seemed like everyone who made it raved.

2 medium lemons

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 (4 to 5-pound) whole chicken

2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more as needed

2 ¼ cups whole milk

2 sprigs fresh sage

10 cloves garlic, peeled

1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick

Freshly ground black pepper

Crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or steamed rice, for serving (optional)
