    Stop and Smell the Rosemary: Recipes and Traditions to Remember

    Recipe Introduction


    This was my very first attempt at preparing a whole chicken and I'm delighted to say that this was delicious! Enjoy!

    List of Ingredients




    1 large whole chicken (4-pounds)
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
    1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
    1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano or thyme
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon olive oil

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375 F. Rinse chicken inside and out with cold water. Remove any pockets of fat just inside chest cavity. Pat dry.

    Blend garlic, rosemary, thyme or oregano, pepper, salt, and olive oil to make an herb paste. Rub herb paste over chicken and under skin. Roast, breast side up, 20 minutes.
    Turn and roast another 20 minutes. Turn again and roast another 35 minutes. (1 hour and 10 min. total).

    Remove chicken from oven. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest 15 minutes prior to carving. Serve chicken au jus with crusty bread.

    Serves 4
