What it is about a roasted chicken that makes me so happy? Something about it’s rustic golden appearance and savory aroma is just so darn welcoming. I roast chickens pretty often just for the heck of it. I don’t need to have a recipe in mind because I know you can always think of something to do with a roasted chicken like chicken tacos or chicken salad. Chicken always wins, especially in my house.
This lemon, garlic, rosemary chicken recipe also makes a mean chicken and rice soup if you have leftovers. The rosemary taste really good with the rice. I often serve this chicken with rice or roasted potatoes and whatever kind of veggies I have on hand. It’s an easy, simple meal with a great presentation.
