I do love a great Roasted Chicken. Especially one with Rosemary and Garlic. Very Aromatic Herbs and Spices make a cold day better.
I am accompanying it with Roasted Potatoes (with the same herb Blend)
Ingredients:
1 Whole Roaster Chicken (typically comes already prepped)
Half an Onion
4-5 Cloves of Garlic (minced)
2-3 Tbsp. Chopped Fresh Rosemary
2-3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Place the chicken on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil (Keeps things clean)
Put the onion in the cavity of the Chicken. (Just for flavor)
Mince the garlic and finely chop the rosemary. Mix in a bowl with the olive oil, and Rub all over the chicken.
Put in the preheated Oven, Cook until Crispy Brown on top. You can choose to use a thermometer, put it in the thickest part of meat (typically the thigh), until the temperature reads 165 . About an Hour (depends on the oven)
Potatoes in a Medium Dice (I say 1 per person), mix with minced garlic and rosemary (onions, too if you like), add enough olive oil to coat potatoes. Place in a metal pan. Cook for 20-25 minutes, towards the end of the chicken being almost done.
Save your bones and fat. And Make your own stock.
Don’t forget to make a wish on the Wishbone.
Hope you enjoy the meal as much as we did.
Look back tomorrow for Chili (using dried beans, hydrated) cornbread, and muffins.
