Herbed Roasted Whole Chicken with Rosemary Recipe Video
The ingredients used are basic and turn an ordinary chicken into a taste of elegance and beauty. Typically, I'm not a fan of rosemary but I have to admit, my opinion may be changing very quickly. Rosemary despite it's aromatic strength as a fresh cut or even dried herb, becomes a subtle backdrop which sets the whole stage for this meal.
Ingredients
Whole chicken (all natural or organic is best)
1 - 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 cloves crushed whole garlic
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Ground Pepper
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Clean chicken by rubbing with lots of salt inside and out and rinsing with water.
3. Make sure to remove as much of the inside giblets as possible.
4. Cut off extra fat from skin (optional but recommended).
5. Place chicken in oven proof pan with deep sides to prevent juices from overflowing.
6. Rub inside and outside of chicken with olive oil.
7. Rub salt and ground pepper on inside and outside of chicken.
8. Place garlic inside chicken cavity.
9. Place a sprig of rosemary inside the chicken cavity and some rosemary leaves on top of chicken.
10. Using foil, make a tent and cover chicken. Make sure it is shiny side down.
11. Place on middle rack in oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours then remove tent, and baste chicken with the juices which have already accumulated.
12. Return to oven and cook another 30 minutes.
13. Check for doneness by cutting into thickest part, and making sure only 100% clear juices run out with no trace of blood. If it is not done, continue baking at 15 minute intervals.
