From Stones River Market

Serves: 4
Ingredients
1
whole chicken, any size
1/4 or more cup
extra virgin olive oil
2 or 3 cloves
garlic, pressed
2 or 3 Tbsp
fresh rosemary, minced
1 1/2 tsp
salt
1/2 tsp
black pepper
2 tsp
fresh lemon juice
1 lemon
cut in quarters or eighths
2 or 3 sprigs
fresh rosemary
8 - 11 small
organic potatoes, skins on
1 or 2 heads
fresh broccoli
Step by Step Instructions
- Wash chicken and pat dry.
- Make mixture of olive oil, minced rosemary, pressed garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Gently insert your fingers between the skin and meat of the chicken breast, being careful not to tear skin. Push rosemary mixture into the space. Don't skimp. You can mix up more if you need to.
- Turn chicken over and do the same thing along the back, drumsticks and thighs.
- Place the chicken breast side up into a baking dish. Rub the cavity with the same mixture, and fill with the lemon pieces and sprigs of fresh rosemary.
- Wash potatoes and pat dry. Rub them with the garlic/rosemary mixture and place them around the chicken.
- Roast at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Turn chicken to breast side down and finish cooking. This will leave the breast moist. The time of cooking will depend upon the size chicken you have. Remove the potatoes earlier, once they are done.
- Steamed broccoli drizzled with olive oil makes a nice accompanying vegetable.
