Rosemary, Garlic, Lemon Roasted Chicken
- 2-3 medium pototatoes
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
- salt and pepper
- 1 lemon, quartered
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 4-5 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 1 chicken, 3-5 pounds
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Cut your potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a mixing bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Into the middle of a 6 inch piece of aluminum foil place the quartered lemon, 2 rosemary sprigs, and 4-5 cloves of peeled garlic. Gather your aluminum foil around the ingredients, bringing the sides up to create a bowl shape.
- Place the foil bowl in the middle of a large cast iron skillet. Arrange the potato chunks around the foil in a single layer
- Spread your chicken open so you can season the cavity of the chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken breast side up over the foil packet, pat the skin dry with a paper towel, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon rosemary over the chicken.
- Put chicken in oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until a thermometer inserted in the thigh measures 160 degrees. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
- You can serve this chicken out of the cast iron skillet, or carve and place on a platter. Just don't forget about the delicious juices in the pan. They taste like heaven.
