Jan's Roasted Chicken
Dinner doesn't get any easier than a 5-ingredient roasted chicken. And if you have chicken left over, you can use it in soups, salads, or sandwiches.
How to Make It
Step 1
Rub chicken and cavities with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic cloves, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Tuck chicken wings under; tie legs together with string, if desired. Pour remaining 1 tablespoon oil into a large cast-iron skillet; place chicken, breast side up, in skillet.
Step 3
Place 1 rosemary sprig and 2 lemon quarters into neck cavity of chicken; repeat in lower cavity. Place remaining rosemary sprig underneath skin.
Step 4
Bake at 450° for 30 minutes; reduce heat to 350°, and bake 1 hour. Serve with Jan's Roasted Potatoes.

I soaked the hen in a kosher salt brine for 1&1/2 hours before cooking and used grond rosemary instead of fresh. Otherwise I followed the recipe and it was PERFECT! I served it with steamed veggies in herb butter sauce and rosemary bread. It's our new favoite meal. Super easy, beautiful presentation and fabulous flavor.

Very good! Chicken is tender and juicy. Whole family loves it!!!! you will have to wipe down the oven afterward, but it's worth it. Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, rolls - ultimate comfort food.
