Delicious Rosemary Roasted Chicken Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 whole chicken (preferably organic)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures even cooking of the chicken.

    Use a reliable oven thermometer to check the temperature.
  2. Prepare the Marinade

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

    Let the marinade sit for a few minutes to enhance the flavors.
  3. Marinate the Chicken

    Rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to cover it completely.

    For best results, let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken in a roasting pan and place it in the preheated oven.

    Roast for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Let it Rest

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

    This helps the juices redistribute, making the chicken juicier.
