Lemon rosemary chicken

 

A common misconception people have is that fancy and healthy both mean difficult to make.

That's NOT TRUE!

Don't believe me? Try this recipe

 

What you will need

1 Whole Chicken

1 Lemon

Rosemary

Salt

Pepper

Olive Oil

3 Carrots

1/2 onion

 

 

 

 

 

I have heard so many people say that they don't wash their meat when they take it home from the butcher, I am not one of those people. Rinse your chickens! Pat dry with a paper towel

 

Line a baking dish with foil (this makes cleanup a lot easier)

add 3 cut carrots and 1/2 of an onion (sliced) to the dish

(This step keeps the meat of your chicken off of the pan to avoid burning and over cooking)

 

 

 

Cover generously with olive oil, salt and pepper

add the zest of 1 lemon, a drizzle of the juice

and chopped rosemary leaves (I LOVE ROSEMARY, so I went a little heavy)

 

I also added lemon slices around the chicken to perfume it into the meat

 

 

 

 

Tent with Foil

 

 

bake at 350 until the juices run clear

take the foil off the last 10 minutes of cooking time for a delicious crispy skin

 

 

SO GOOD!

 

**TIP**

 

Don't throw the carcass away, save it for a homemade chicken stock
