Try Something New : Week One

This week we tried :

Simple Roast Chicken with Garlic and Rosemary 

( recipe from justataste.com)

 

  • True to it's name, the recipe was simple:


    Yay!
     I followed the instructions to a T.
  • The list of ingredients was very short:


1 (4- to 5-pound) chicken
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, halved
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • The directions were easy to follow:


Wash and dry chicken, 
brush with butter and garlic,
stuff with lemon and rosemary,
roast at 450* F.,
baste every 15 minutes,
and rest 10 minutes before carving.

*This is a very abbreviated version of the directions.*
  • And, best of all, the chicken was delicious!


    We enjoyed the legs and thighs for dinner.
    The breast we ate the next day, cold.
    It had a mild, pleasant, flavor from the rosemary and lemon.

  • Here are some pictures I took of the process:

Glad to have fresh rosemary growing in a pot on the porch. :)

  4. What a beauty! I wouldn't even want to carve that up! But I'm sure the aroma would have me slicing away, just as soon as I got the photo!
