Delicious Roast Chicken With Rosemary And Lemon Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 tablespoons rosemary (fresh, chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for basting)
  • 1 tablespoon paprika (for seasoning)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Use a reliable oven thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
  2. Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.

    Drying the chicken helps achieve crispy skin.
  3. Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper.

    Whisk until well combined for an even distribution.
  4. Season the Chicken

    Rub the marinade all over the chicken, including under the skin.

    Be generous with the marinade for maximum flavor.
  5. Add Broth

    Pour the chicken broth into the roasting pan to keep the chicken moist while cooking.

    This also creates a flavorful base for gravy.
  6. Roast the Chicken

    Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    Baste the chicken with its juices halfway through cooking.
  7. Rest the Chicken

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

    Resting allows the juices to redistribute.
  8. Serve

    Carve the chicken and serve with your favorite sides.

    Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
