ROAST CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken parts, such as breasts, thighs, or wings. If using a whole chicken, cut it into 8 pieces.
  • Dry the chicken thoroughly: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning or cooking. This will help the seasoning adhere to the chicken and prevent the skin from becoming soggy.
  • Use fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary is best for this recipe, but you can also use dried rosemary. If using dried rosemary, use 1 teaspoon.
  • Season the chicken generously: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, cumin, or oregano.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Roast the chicken at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the chicken more tender.

Conclusion:

This rosemary chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is roasted until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. The rosemary adds a wonderful flavor to the chicken that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve this chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
