Tips:

Use a good quality olive oil for the marinade. It will make a big difference in the flavor of the chicken.
Fresh rosemary is best, but you can use dried rosemary if you don't have any fresh on hand. Just use about half the amount of dried rosemary as you would fresh.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is even better. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
You can grill, roast, or pan-fry the chicken. Just be sure to cook it until it is cooked through. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad would all be great options.

Conclusion:

Marinated rosemary chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The rosemary marinade infuses the chicken with flavor, and the chicken cooks up tender and juicy. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
