How To Make oven roasted rosemary chicken
-
1Heat oven to 350'F. Line bottom of roasting pan with aluminum foil.

2Remove giblets, neck from chicken and cut off extra skin. Rinse chicken under faucet and dry with a paper towel. Place in foil lined pan and tuck wings back under the breast. (I tried, but I couldn't get mine to stay there...oh well.)

-
4Melt butter and olive oil together in a small pan; add seasonings and stir well. Brush over all of the chicken and under wings, etc.

5Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Remove foil and return to oven to bake an additional 30-40 minutes or until meat thermometer reaches 180' and juices run clear.
-
6Remove and let set for 20 minutes before slicing.
